Educational, Health, Environmental and Communal Rewards
By: Aaron Swecker (Jan 22, 2009)
Being a part of Sarver's Hill Farm is enriching on many levels. I have quickly listed 4 in the subject heading.
My children and I get to find out where food comes from be seeing the vegetables grow throughout the summer. We have the knowledge that the food is harvested using sustainable practices that ensures it is good for both our bodies and the environment. And by volunteering on the farm we get to develop relationships with others while picking strawberries, digging potatoes or filling orders on the 10 person assembly line at the end of the day.It's really nice to be able to know the people who grow the food my family and I eat while knowing that we are supporting someone that is local and who is a great person.

Food for Body, Mind, and Spirit
By: Carol S. Cutler (Jan 16, 2009)
I have been buying produce from Paul at local farmer's markets and Nature's Way Market for several years. I was always pleased with the quality and the price. Last year I purchased a CSA share and volunteered at the farm. It was a great experience--even the day I harvested 80 bunches of mustard greens alone in the poring down rain (my CAS baptism?). I enjoyed each week's offferings--from the basics to the more exotic items like garlic scapes, arugula, tomatillos, fennel, escarole, tropea onions, etc. And there was food for the mind as Paul is so willing to share his wisdom about the soil and the natural world. If the body is the temple of the soul, you can be assured that what Paul produces is a fit offering for the soul.

So much more than delicious bounty
By: Susan Frenchik (Jan 8, 2009)
I have been fortunate to be a member of the Sarver's Hill CSA for the last two years and I am looking forward to next year. Paul Sarver is a wise and wonderful farmer philosopher who provides equal measures of healthy, beautiful produce and thoughtful attention to living a mindful life in mind, body and spirit. I love the farm community, the lively discussions and the quiet in the cool of the evening. Joining this CSA is one of the best things I've ever done. Peace. Susan Frenchik

Great Farm
By: Teresa (Dec 30, 2008)
I've been a member of the CSA for around 8 years or so. Each year has been great. Paul never fails to provide a variety of great produce. These veggies really spoil you, once you get the taste of fresh, local, organic produce. Even my guinea pigs snub grocery store produce.
The Sarver's Hill Farm is also a great place to volunteer. The view is amazing and always brings a feeling of peace being up there. You also learn so much about your feed. It's a great learning experience.
I would highly suggest checking out Paul's farm. Both for the terrific food as well as the friendships to be made and the satisfaction of eating what you picked that morning.

I Love Sarver's Hill Farm!
By: Mariangela Mancuso (Nov 9, 2008)
Next year will be my 4th year as a member of Sarver's CSA. I volunteer weekly at the farm and never expected to learn so much, have so much fun, make so many friends, get so much sun, get so wet, or EAT so much in one season! "Farm Day "has become part of my life. The selection of food is fabulous. Each week is an anticipated surprise to see what has come into season and Farmer Paul never disappoints. His farming expience shows in the quality of his produce and the organized manner in which his operation is tended. To truly know good food, you need to go to a truly good source. Sarver's Hill Farm is that source! Mariangela

HIGHLY Suggested!
By: Katy Patton (May 31, 2008)
This is our 4th year participating in Paul Sarver's CSA. I have nothing but good things to say about his farm, prices, availability, products and Paul himself. I do volunteer, and have made several friends doing so. I have learned so much from being a part of this CSA community, I can't even begin to elaborate. Paul also runs our local farmer's markets. Please check out this farm and its goods!!! You will not be disappointed.
