Wood Duck Farm

By: (Jul 1, 2009)
This was my first CSA that I joined in addition to being the first CSA for Wood Duck Farms. I typically purchase green�s from Van weekly and have always been very pleased with the quality of his greens so I was comfortable in going with him as my CSA provider. I thought that I would receive greens weekly in addition to other fresh vegetables, main reason that I went with Duck Farms. I have to say that I was disappointed in not only the quantity of what I received weekly but also the quality. I realize we have been in a drought this spring but the crops we received were very frugal. I was expecting some sort of greens weekly and only received those a handful of times and micro greens a couple of times. This is what Van sells weekly so I know these were available but not shared as anticipated. We received more Kale then anyone could possibly eat in a week. The tomatoes numerous times were so over ripe that they had split by the time they made it home. Other items that were included every week was squash, mushrooms and cucumbers. I know one other reviewer commented how fresh her produce was so she must have been picking it up from the first drop off of the day. I was picking mine up from the last drop so everything had been sitting in a hot van for the day so hence the wilted vegetables. His last drop of the day seem to have delays quite a few times but he finally got that resolved. I don�t feel like I received $33 a week in vegetables and that was disappointing regardless of the drought. I know my share paid for lots of other vegetables that looks like the Summer CSA will benefit from. Lastly, I find it ironic that I was notified by a piece of paper taped to a box that on my last pick up was the last week of the program, not much gratitude to his customers nor an invitation to sign up again, not that I would.
