Peasants' Plot

We shopped at the Peasants' Plot weekly at the Lincoln Square Farmers Market in the summer 2008 and enthusiastically joined their CSA in 2009 (we are renewing for 2010). We have never had anything that hasn't been exceptionally fresh and delicious. Our favorites have been the potatoes, salad mix, and lettuce varieties. Todd is at the market every week and he is happy to give you all of the details about the various offerings and he always has recipe suggestions too. Certain items seemed to be staples throughout the season while there would also usually be one or two specialty items each week. I liked the variety but also that we weren't stuck with anything so out of the ordinary that we had no idea what to do with it.

Todd and Julia are great and are always easy to talk to and happy to answer any questions or concerns. You might not get the consistency you would with a larger CSA (for example last summer the weather and a problem with a greenhouse resulted in less tomatoes than the year before) but we like supporting a smaller organization where you actually see the farmer each week. We've never made it out to the farm, but we regularly receive email invitations to visit the farm or attend one of the special events they organize.

Overall we highly recommend!
