Orchard Country Produce and Fruit Farm

By: Marc (Sep 10, 2008)
I have just completed my summer CSA with Gregg and Louise and decided to sign on for the autumn season as well because I was so happy with the quality of the produce I was receiving.

Here are some of my favorites, so far: -Lemon cucumber -Sweet green heirloom tomatoes -sweet onions -peaches, nectarines, apples -zucchini -raspberries, blueberries -lettuce mix -beets -eggplant, broccoli -"extras" such as horseradish, jam or marmalade, mint tea, parsley -canataloupe, musk melon, watermelon -once a season they usually have meat available; the steak was good!

Even the worst of the produce is on par with what you get at the store on a normal day, but most of it is one and a half to three times better than that. And some of it, you just can't get in a store, period.

Honestly, I highly recommend this CSA. Few offer the variety that this one does, and the food is consistently delicious.

Every once in a while, they blow me away and make me question what I knew as a child to be what a certain food should look like. The latest examples of this area the watermelon, which was melon-colored (i.e. orange) on the inside, and the raspberries, have ranged in color from a clear light red, to the standard rich raspberry red to full-on orange. All were some of the tastiest I've ever had! And, I can tell you that you have an extra little pep in your step walking around all day knowing you are orange raspberries that day and nobody else in your office did! AND yours were tastier!

So, my point being, sign up as soon as you can. You'll eat healthier, enjoy a diverse diet, and feel good about supporting the friendly folks on this farm.
