What members said about the 2010 season:
Posted: Friday, March 11th, 2011
It’s been an interesting experience. The weekly CSA box actually influenced most of our meal planning decisions. In the past I would say the choice of meat would influence most of our meal planning decisions on a daily basis. This year the produce we received influenced the decisions and I have to believe that we ate healthier as a result. Having our kitchen counter full of various items from week to week also forced us to plan meal decisions better. We ate out less, experimented more with the recipes and actually found ourselves talking more about what we were eating, how it tasted and what we had read in the newsletter.
Thanks so much for a great CSA! I think this was a good amount of food for the money– quality produce and convenient pick up!
Thanks so much for a great year. We had belonged to another CSA but yours gave us much more produce. I loved receiving the herbs, especially the garlic scapes and dill.
Our boxes were consistently “packed smart” and items always arrived nicely cleaned, not dripping wet, uncrushed and still fresh – that is not easy, so I know you cared. Thanks.
Last year we said there was too much fennel – this year we only received fennel two or three times and I actually would have enjoyed it a few more times! It’s funny how the “weird” veggies don’t seem so weird now…..
We are sad the season is over. We SO appreciate all you go through to work the soil and the farm to provide us with clean and healthy (and beautiful!) veggies. Truly, you impacted our lives so greatly during this growing season. We Thank You so very much.
Thanks you so much for all the beautiful food! You have definitely added a richness to our lives and the satisfaction in supporting hard working local farmers.
Great variety..the produce came in great shape and we really pretty much snarfed it all down. I think you gave fair amounts and I loved the variety from week to week. If I wanted more of something, I just hit a local farmers market. Have been in CSAs for 15 years and know great quality..even in a challenging weather year, you gave us great value and delicious food. When we had unusual food, your great recipe ideas were always a hit and worked swell.
Thanks for a bountiful season and for making us feel like partners. It is good to know that much of our food comes from your farm.
A fantastic 1st year experience and will continue for a 2nd.
I absolutely loved the CSA. By participating in this program, I learned about lots of new vegetables and ways to eat/store them. My family ate healthier all summer. I planned my meals around what I got in the CSA box. It was wonderful to have vegetables on hand. I didn’t have to run to the store. Thanks so much for bringing the food to my worksite, also. Really appreciated this time saver!!!
Your half share is about the same size as other farm’s full share (I’ve had two other CSA in the last 5 years). You might want to mention that in your literature. I was really glad I didn’t opt for the full share, or I would have been overwhelmed!
First time we’ve done a CSA and we loved it. We have never eaten so well.
