Whetham Organic Farm

By: Brenda Birchmeier (Oct 4, 2010)
Our family has been part of the Whetham CSA farm for the past 3 or 4 years. What a wonderful experience it has been! From the kids being able to help out and learn about the origins of their food, to the classes that Pat has offered on Organic Gardening and food preservation, to the wonderful produce, this farm cannot be beat!!

We have learned to love peas and beets and all kinds of squash and greens. We have come to more appreciate farm-fresh, organic sweet corn, carrots and potatoes. We have been introduced to many new vegetables that we would not have ever tried if they had not been in our shares. A cookbook, and recipes each week were included.

Since we always purchased working shares, each of my four children (now aged 6 to 21) have had the opportunity to work with me. Pat has always been accommodating, and given age appropriate jobs to each, and most of the time they delighted in doing them. She also does her utmost to make you comfortable while working. She makes herself available to answer any organic gardening or preserving questions. And, she is always a great reference if there is something specific you are looking for and cannot find...organic freezer beef for instance.

Lastly, I can honestly say that working on the farm, out in the middle of the field, is one of the most peaceful experiences a mother can have!

I highly recommend this CSA farm!
