While mostly described as positive, there are some drawbacks of the program outlined by program participants. Several CSA members who take advantage of the rebate noted they would not join a CSA without the rebate. One farmer, describing the fear she has if the rebate program was ended, shared the results of a recent survey she conducted, “In 2011, last time I polled on this, 60% of our members got the rebate. Of those, only 30% said they would join without the rebate. A whole lot of our membership depends on these rebates.”
