Windy River Eco Farm

I am so glad I found Grandma's Garden and Tamara Hanson in 2010! I had been in other CSA's in previous years and was looking for something better and I found it in Grandma's Garden. Tamara made me feel like I was actually a part of the farming experience. She sends out an amazing email/newsletter each week detailing what is going on in the garden, what everyone is getting, and how to use it. I really enjoyed the pictures and instructions - she is a wealth of knowledge. As a dietitian and an avid gardener, I know quite a bit about healthy eating - but Tamara gave us such a wide variety of vegetables that it was unbelievable! We learned so much and tried (and enjoyed!) new varieties of garden delights. Several of my co-workers also participate in different CSA's and they were all envious about my take each week when I would bring in the extras to share with them. (Yes, I got so much I had to have help getting it eaten). I really appreciated that she took our likes and dislikes into account each week when she divided up the shares. I also enjoyed the extra's she put in our shares occasionally, such as flowers, herbs, seasoning mixtures, and that caramel coconut sauce was to die for! Grandma's Garden isn't going to be the best CSA experience for someone that only wants the basic vegetables that you can pick up in your local grocery store - Grandma's Garden is for those of us that want more! More variety, more personalized interaction with the actual farmer who grew our food, and more for our money. Grandma's Garden is an excellent value and I readily recommend it for your CSA choice!
