Blue Pike Farm

By: Shelley McDonald (Apr 9, 2011)
I moved to CLE just last year and located Blue Pike Farms on this website. As soon as I contacted the farmer ( Carl), I knew this CSA was unique. The farm is located in the middle of Cleveland, which was unusual for me ( I just moved here from CA... where I never even saw the farm from which my CSA produce came). The 1st day I went to pick up my weekly share, I was amazed by the beauty of the farm and the friendliness of Carl and his "helper", Pat, who took me on a personal tour of the farm.

The veggies and fruits continued to delight me throughout the entire season, and Carl was even friendly enough to substitute different veggies is I didn't care for all of them ( I got extra squash because I can't eat tomatoes... darn acid reflux).

The best part about BPF is the personality of the farmers ( Carl & Pat). I was allowed to go and harvest my own basil to take home, and they encourage the CSA subscribers to volunteer at the farm. Such a great idea to promote local food and urban farming. I strongly recommend BFP to anyone in Cleveland looking for farm fresh, organic produce and a friendly family. You cannot beat the experience at BPF!
