Whetham Organic Farm

We have been well cared for at this farm. From being exposed to a wide variety of vegetables(most we would never purchase in at a grocer), to having the opportunity to harvest potatoes and other vegetables, to getting to know Pat and Clark and the duties entailed in farming, it has and continues to be a valuable experience for us as well as our palates.

Michelle, I can't understand why you'd complain about Pat in public. I suggest you stop this public display and discuss any problems with Pat in private. We've been CSA members with Pat for 3 years and will return again next year. We're always been extremely happy with all the produce we've received. Pat is helpful and taught us a lot about organic food..

Michele, so sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you had hoped. This was our first year at a CSA and we found this to be an incredible experience! Pat, owner, was always welcoming, patiently and graciously answering my questions! We were also given the opportunity to do our work requirement on various days of the week. The produce was excellent! We were introduced to many vegetables that we'd never knew existed and Pat sent receipes in the weekly update to help us newer members! We will be disappointed when November arrives - it has been fun discovering what the goodies would be each week! Looking forward to participating next year!

Michelle It is unfortunate you had a bad experience with this CSA. I have been a member since the first year and am still amazed how much better things taste and the increased "shelf life" of the produce. I also have never seen this owner be rude - instead, she seems always eager to share her knowledge with anyone interested. CSAs are not for everyone, particularly organic because the veggies are not poisoned and polished to look pretty.

Michelle, while I can't speak to your actual experience, mine has been quite different. CSAs are not always for everyone, especially if there is work involved. The produce I got from Whetham Farm (and this is my first year) was outstanding! My husband and I are vegans and we love produce. There is no way I could afford this type of produce at organic grocery store prices. While I"m sorry you had a less than favorable experience, I think it is quite unfair to say the produce is substandard when it is clearly a cut above conventional AND organic produce at the store.
