The Good Farm

By: Donna Duren (Jan 18, 2010)
My husband and I have been Quiet Creek members for two years and have happily renewed for 2010. We could not be more delighted with our half-share which is more than adequate for us. I am an experienced gardener but there is no way we could grow the amount and variety to the standards of QC ourselves. I have never seen more consistently beautiful organic produce.

In addition to the weekly share, we greatly enjoy the U-Pick choices, the herbs and the lovely flowers Additionally, John and Aimee have added value by partnering with area producers to offer other items for sale on pick-up days: cheeses, meats, eggs, dairy and Wild for Salmon items.

John and Aimee and the entire staff of Quiet Creek Farm CSA provide good information ahead of pick-up day as to what is being harvested that week, current growing conditions, a short outlook on near-future harvest, helpful hints on storage and cooking as well as occasional recipes! We have found all of the staff to be nothing but helpful and responsive.

This past year all farmers and gardeners in our region endured some horrible weather conditions which brought with it such challenges as late blight. The Quiet Creek folks managed this situation knowledgeably, proactively and wisely.

Absolutely nothing but praise!
