First Time CSA Members
By: kelly louk (Nov 7, 2009)
We had talked about purchasing a CSA share for a couple of years but the farms were either far away or sold huge boxes that would never be consumed by our family. We stumbled on to HighCross Farm via their website and found that they sold two sizes of boxes and delivered to a drop site in our town. We thought we'd give them a try and we are so glad we did! Not only could we get a small box that could be picked up just minutes from our home, we could pay via their website. Best of all the produce was fantastic! The weekly newsletter from "Farmer" Steve, Kath & crew was filled with information on how to identify, prepare and store the produce we received. The kids loved coming to pick up the box each week and see what was inside. We will be signed up again for the next season...sure the box size and convenience of pick up is great but the quality of the produce and the high standards of this farm is what brings us back.

High Cross Farm, Superior produce and special people!
By: Connie B. Cozzolino Smith (Oct 17, 2009)
My first year purchasing a CSA share was 2009 and through my search for superior produce, I found much more. I chose High Cross Farm after studying reviews about many farms on the Internet. It was the right choice! "Farmer Steve," Kath, their sons and crew take great pride in the produce they provide to their CSA customers. Our produce box came once-a-week, and we picked it up at a nearby location. My husband and I could hardly wait; we came to view the box as a gift! The quality and variety of produce was superior. My love of arugula grew by leaps and bounds. Everything we received was beautiful and delicious, from raspberries to heads of lettuce that were worthy of true admiration. But what turned out to be the most important thing over the course of the growing season, was the quality of the people who grew our produce. Steve and Kath love the land and tend it with respect and care. Growing food for their customers is a labor of love. During this first-time CSA experience, I learned that in my hunt for superior produce, I also found special people who grow it. That was the real gift.

High Praise for HighCross Farm
By: Jean Ewing (Apr 13, 2009)
I've been with HighCross Farm from their first year and have watched them blossom into a premier CSA. It's due to their integrity and high standards. As they've increased their plantings and customers, they've maintained their quality, added variety and strived to educate and enjoy the people they serve. From the beginning I've called it "my weekly treasure chest" of truly beautiful produce. I've been stretched in my culinary knowledge, and there is now not a vegetable that I can't saute, stir fry, simmer in a soup or crunch in a salad! Their newsletter informs, entertains and inspires. I like hearing "Old Farmer Steve" expound on how the weather and other natural phenomena affect my produce box that week. I'm 100% satisfied. Let the season begin!

Excellent CSA
By: Jenny (Jan 23, 2009)
We joined the CSA last year and it honestly changed our eating and cooking habits. The fresh, organic produce was tasty & beautiful. The quality was SO much better than you'd find in a local grocery store, plus it's organic. We've never seen such larges peppers or leaves of basil! A weekly newsletter is provided that offers great recipe suggestions. We tried new types of produce and really expanded our palate!
I would highly recommend this CSA. Great service and product.

Loved it!!
By: Staci ODell (Oct 17, 2008)
This was our first year involved with a CSA and it has been a great experience. I loved the weekly surprise of fresh, local, and in-season produce. It has been quite a challenge to find new and interesting ways to cook vegetables, but their weekly newsletter provided recipes to help with that. My children were thrilled with the fruit that frequented our box as well. High Cross Farm has been great to work with and I will be counting the months until the first box of the next season.
