I have belonged for 2 years and have nothing but praise for the hard working folks with this CSA. Have there been occasional problems? Of course, but these guys work very hard to make everyone happy and to solve problems as they arise.
We are all trying to "do the right thing" with the CSA concept and the Grant's Farm folks are no exception. I think the program just keeps getting better. I shared a share with a co-worker both last year and this year. We got MORE food, MORE variety and for a longer period of time this year than last. And this is in spite of a terrible hailstorm mid season.
There have been a few times when some of the items have been less than perfect but I feel compensated by the other times when I have gotten more produce of highest quality.
If you think about what happens with your own garden, it only makes sense that everything is not going to be perfect all the time. And it only makes sense that if you are buying pesticide free produce you are goig to find an occasional insect in your food.
My feeling is that if you want pristine, picture perfect produce in the exact quantities you want in a given week - go to the grocery store and buy stuff that is sprayed with heaven knows what, comes from heaven knows where and was picked heaven knows when. If you want real food grown safely and with love and dedication, join Grant's Farm CSA. Linda Helm
