St. Fairsted Farm

By: Gloria Campos-Hensley (Nov 24, 2009)
I was a member of another CSA before joining this one. I wasn't happy with it for personal reasons so I contacted Angela. She is one of the nicest people I have ever exchanged emails with. Every question I have asked Angela about the basket of food or anything CSA or garden related she has answered. She isn't just nice in her emails though. She extends her love into every basket too.

My basket is always full with a variety of foods. I love that she offers veggies as well as a variety of fruits and also eggs.The poblano peppers were my favorite. It makes me happy too that she packs the baskets as eco-friendly as possible, as she noted in an email and that she would rather pick a fruit early for her members to keep it organic (with tips to make it eatable) than to use non organic methods to keep pest free.

Six weeks later my experience with the weekly CSA pickup has been lovely. The vegetables tasty and smell great. I look forward to her emails and newsletter because they are packed with care and good wishes as well as food storage tips, recipes and often a bit of humor. Is she a bit late in the very begining with communication? Yes, but she makes up for it big time the rest of the season.

I will be extending my membership for 2010.
