Honey Brook Organic Farm

By: Cate Hartzell (Jun 16, 2009)
This is only our second year as members of Honey Brook's delivered boxed share CSA program, and we couldn't be more thrilled. The produce from this farm is outstanding, and I'm constantly amazed at the sheer quantity delivered each week. -I think my neighbors look forward to CSA season as much as we do because I share what my family won't eat with everyone so nothing will go to waste. There's no way I could buy this much organic produce throughout the year for the price they ask for a boxed membership!

My favorite thing about the CSA (which some people will argue as a strike) is that you get produce you wouldn't otherwise buy. For example, my family hates beets. We would never buy beets, and I have yet to find a recipe that works for us for beets. However, I have plenty of friends willing to take them off my hands. For other items I wouldn't typically buy, I've had a lot of fun finding creative ways to serve them. Swiss chard quiche, homemade pesto (from all the basil!), winter savory marinade, grilled romaine, and kale smoothies (yes, kale) top our growing list of family favorites!!
