Bull Run Mountain Farm

By: Burt Wagner (Nov 22, 2009)
This was my first year as a CSA customer. While I really enjoyed the CSA concept, I was a little less than impressed with Bull Run Farms.

As others have posted, the vegetables were never washed, and the variety was less than what I expected. The quality of vegetables, particularly tomatoes, weren't very impressive. They were small, often not ripe, and frequently bruised. Every week, I threw away half of the peaches I was given because they were bruised beyond usability.

I understand 2009 wasn't the best year in terms of weather. I did see, however, that vegetables at local farmers markets, were of far superior size and quantity to what was provided by the CSA throughout the entire year.

Yes, Leigh is a nice guy, and his newsletter was enjoyable reading. At the end of the day, however, I'm paying him for the quantity, quality and variety of produce. I was less than impressed.
