Fletcher Community Farm

By: Ann McCann (Aug 2, 2010)
Definitely worth no stars. Have been in other first year CSA;s, and always felt the farmers cared and were trying. Last year was the tomato blight - but taking the risk is part of belonging. We were good with that.

WE have never gotten a bag or box of produce as a share with this group. A recent pick up had two boxes set out of 30" long zucchini, and some round yellow -way gone by - cucumbers. We could pickup one or two from each box! II could list what we got from other pickups: a couple handfuls of leaf lettuce, period. one sandwich bag of peas - this is per week, remember. think zucchs the size of a human thigh are compost, and the organizers should be ashamed. Another CSA member does have two baseball bat zucchinis on their kitchen counter - for a joke. My husband keeps telling me that reading the glowing reports of other CSAs on Chowhound will just depress me. Well... yeah!

And I have said this in person - got a shrug, and emailed ,u concerns - got no response. Basically we put in about 10 hours of labor and more than $300 to fund the Fletcher Farm Farmers Market Stand. It's not worth the gas to drive to the next pickup. Basically I never want to see Fletcher Farm, or it's organizers, again!

Which is why I'm posting here. This CSA takes away from a wonderful idea and wonderful farmers.
