Grant Farms CSA

I joined GFF in 2010, my first time ever in a CSA. I can't say enough great things about this experience. I had no idea how much better-tasting local produce would be, and it is fantastic. I would never buy organic produce in the store, due to the expense, but I feel that this CSA is a great bargin. I learned what to do with items that were new to me - kale, chard, kohlrabi, beets, to name a few - and how to preserve extras for the winter. As one person with a single share, I definitely have a lot of extras in my freezer; the share is a very generous size. The weekly newsletter is great: it gives some idea of what to anticipate getting that week, but is also full of great recipes and tips on preserving, as well as insights about farming. They were also very open about why there is so much green stuff in June (that's what grows here), and why the tomatos were late (cool spring and a hailstorm). Finally, I feel good about supporting a local business, and doing something healthy for me and the earth. I love "my farm", as I call it.
