Blooming Glen Farm

Good people, good value, good food & good events. I have loved being a member since the very first season at Blooming Glen and thoroughly enjoy the variety of veggies and fruits we receive. Plenty of good staples as well as some funky foods to get the imagination going! If your not that creative with food there is always plenty of chat amongst the members at pick up time to give you ideas and suggestions, or of course great recipe books sold at the farm. I find that the amount to pick is just right. It is a great way to educate your children about what they eat and the real meaning of food. My son Jacob, now three loves the farm and can't wait to help me. The already picked produce is also nicely cleaned so you don't have to go home to a major scrubbing session before being able to store your food. It is wonderful to have flowers included in a share too. The harvest festival and pot luck dinners at the farm are a great way to meet other members and being able to purchase Henry and Charlotte Rosenberger's beef (Tussock Sedge farm) and other meats, eggs etc on site is nice bonus too. It amazes me how organized and well run the farm is. The website for the farm and the blog and photos are also fun to follow. Watching the food grow as you drive past, eagerly waiting for the season to start and knowing that what you see is what you get is a comforting thought and always brings a smile to my face.
