Abbott's Garden
By: Lynne Wardach (May 5, 2009)
I've been a customer of the Abbott's Garden CSA for several years now, buying both eggs and vegetables. We've found Sue and John to be friendly and accomodating and we've become good friends. My children have been to the farm to visit the chickens and to help pick berries on occasion and have had tremendous fun. (Sue spoils them nearly rotten).
The quality of the produce is always wonderful and the eggs are the finest my family has ever eaten. My children (we have 5 ), won't even touch other eggs now that we've had those from Sue's hens,(especially Amelia the wonder-chicken). We've always been dealt with fairly, whether it's about quality, price or personal accomodation, and Sue has been most generous in arranging my family's pick-up schedule. (Once, she even drove to my house with eggs & veggies when my kids were sick!). I like knowing that she & John are so committed to pesticide free produce and sustainable farming practices and that I can feed my children their vegetables and eggs with confidence.
I've learned alot too. Sue is very generous with information and doesn't mind sharing her horticultural knowledge. Her newsletters to her customers are very informative, not only about Abbott's Garden CSA news, but about the nature of farming and even politics as it applies to our food! Bottom line, we love our CSA. Give 'em a try! Lynne
