Red Acre Farm

I was one of the first shareholders for Red Acre Farm CSA and would recommend them to anyone looking for local produce. I feel strongly about eating food that hasn't been treated by chemicals, but since I live in an apartment I'm unable to grow my own food. The price of the CSA basket was comparable to what I was paying at the store beforehand, but the produce tasted so much better and I felt better knowing I was feeding my children produce grown by people I know and trust.

The farmers, Sarah and Symbria, are very personable and easy to work with. The baskets were always ready on the same day each week and were always beautifully arranged with a large variety of produce that had been freshly picked that day. The CSA helped me broaden my produce spectrum into new foods I didn't usually eat, but loved once I tried them. Symbria is also helpful in giving recipes that use some of the more unusual foods like her recipe for rhubarb muffins that are so delicious. Each basket had more than enough for me and my two kids, sometimes lasting into the next week. The flavor of the food was always superior to the produce at the store.
