Great choice!
By: Julie Paschal (Oct 30, 2009)
My husband and I have had a half share at Wellhausen Farms for two years now. We have been very pleased with the selection, quantity, and quality of vegetables we've received. We also appreciate the weekly emails from Jamie, complete with updates from the farm and recipes for the veggies in our upcoming delivery. Best of all...the veggies "magically" show up on our door step on Sunday mornings! It's so nice not having to make special trips to pick up our produce especially if you travel for work. 5 stars for this CSA!

awesome visit to the farm
By: emily warren (Aug 27, 2009)
we recently stayed at the wellhausen farm for a weekend and had a wonderful time! the farm house is comfortable, quaint, and welcoming. the grounds were beautiful! i loved picking veggies for the CSA's that the wellhausens deliver. it was so relaxing (although it was hard work!). it was also awesome to pick veggies and cook them for that night's dinner. my son loved the hayrides, animals, tractors, and ATVs. we were all in heaven! thanks to the wellhausens for their kindness and hospitality!!!

Great stay at the farm!
By: Ray Yang (Aug 26, 2009)
My family recently spent a weekend at Wellhausen Farms, and we loved it! The Wellhausens were so friendly and made our stay perfect. We were able to spend whatever time we could in the garden, picking beets, corn, carrots, and green beans, got to see some baby pigs and calves, and took some really fun hay rides through the countryside. My son absolutely loved it (he's a toddler), especially the part where he got to try some sweet corn straight off the stalk. It was great and I highly recommend a weekend stay for anyone interested in learning about organic farming and getting out in the country. We also were happy to be able to support a local farmer. Lots of fun, great hosts, and the food was amazing.

Want intro info.
By: Marti Kayatepe (Jun 28, 2009)
This is not really a review. I could not get my email address to be accepted in your "email us" section. I'd like to get info for next season, as I think it's too late for this season. I live and work about 10 minutes east of O'Hare, and would like delivery - [slightly disabled 76-year-old widow]. If you can contact me at your leisure (yes, I know: "leisure" is a joke for a farmer!) I'd like to find out if I can subscribe next for next season [or the balance of this season if you've a mind to].. Best, Marti K

The lady from Tuscon
By: Gray Wiechern (Mar 15, 2009)
Hi Jim, As a fellow farmer who got stuck with Ms Selig for a season, I can truly advise your readers and potential memebers not to believe a word of what she says. She had the same sort of scathing remarks about my little CSA, most of which weren't even true. She infuriated my shareholders, and some even wrote a rebuttal to her review. Hers is the only negative review I have. I would like to warn Green Earth not to have anything to do with her. All of us doing this, do it out of our love for the earth, and we want nothing but a great experience for all our shareholders. We do these things in cooperation with Mother Nature, who sometimes really throws us a curve. But we push on because it's what we believe is right and important. Thanks for all you do. Gray Mother Earth Organic Farm

I'm very happy
By: Kathy Karbach (Aug 13, 2008)
I've been very happy with the selection, amount, and quality of the produce being delivered. It's by far a superior experience from the CSA I belonged to before. I have not received anything that's been bruised, buggy, or spoiled. Thankfully the selection has been the run of the mill vegetables that my family recognizes, beans, squash, potatoes, onions, etc. Nothing too exotic. I have a garden as well, and it's been fun to see that what comes out of the garden is in sync with what's being delivered from the farm. The real benefit of belonging to a CSA for us has been the incintive it gives us to eat what's available locally, in season, versus what's grown in California or South America. I'm looking forward to the eggs.

not enough of anything except turnips
By: laura (Aug 11, 2008)
If you like turnips and kohlrabi you might like Wellhausen farm. Since the beginning the veggies have been sparse, wilted and over grown (green beans). I could have gotten double the produce from my local farmers market and the quality would have been better. It is the middle of August today we saw our first tomatoes. We got 5 tomatoes the largest the size of a golf ball the others the size of grapes and they aren't even ripe. It will be hard to make a BLT out of these even for one person. Each week I am more frustrated that the last. I would never sign up for CSA again.

I do not belong to any CSA at this time and was "shopping" around this website, looking at the comments. I'm sorry that Laura had a bad experience, but I hope that she and others as well will remember that not all CSA's are created equal. I hope she will not give up on the idea and that she tries again! Shop locally, think globally!

very good experience
By: Cara Hurley (Jul 29, 2008)
I've really been enjoying the veggies we've gotten from Wellhausen. None of my vegetables have been wilted--everything has tasted great! I love the recipes they provide via email, too--this really helps in figuring out what to do with the variety of veggies we receive, some of which I've never used much before.
As mentioned above, the first week was a little disorganized, but they told us to expect that. Ever since, things have been fine. As for human interaction, while I've only met one of the delivery people once, I've had every question by phone or email answered in a quick and friendly way.
It's really nice having the food delivered instead of picking it up, and I also like the option of adding cheese, meat, and eggs to delivery.
