Redbud Organic Farm, LLC

By: Chris Clement (Feb 1, 2010)
I have suscribed 2007, 2008, and 2009. I have loved it every year. Every week I got high quality fresh produce from Redbud Farm. Some weeks they deliveried so much squash, okra, tomatoes, I almost didn't know what to do with it all! They grow a tomato, I think called sun gold, it is so good I ate them like candy. One of my favorites, the mixed salad greens--delivered already rinsed-- amazing and usually at the same time a separate conatainer with great sprouts that you can put in the salad. Garlic - it is so fresh and blows away any you could buy in a grocery store. Last year they delivered some strawberries and they were so good me and my wife were fighting over them. Wow, I don't know how anyone could not like this.

I could go on a lot more about the produce... but I'll also say I toured the farm (they had a free open house picnic) and saw the operation. This is a true organic and sustainable agriculture farm, you can see they know what they are doing. I don't know if people realize how difficult it is to do what Redbud Farm is doing. For example, I think 2007 (or 08?) we had a terrible drought year. I remember my grass was brown and crinkly all summer. But week after week we still got pretty good size bags of fresh produce. When the weather is extreme and you still want "perfect" produce, maybe you could go to Martins, who wiil ship it in from California or somewhere far away burning tons of diesel and spewing CO2 just to get it to you.

Organic plus local, you can't do much better.
