Earthkeeper Farm

I will not be signing up for next year nor would I recommend this farm to others. Let me first say that this is not my first experience as a CSA shareholder. I strongly support local, sustainable and seasonal food. My family happily held a share for three years prior with another farm. We split our share with another family that wanted to try this one as the pick up worked better for them.

The reason we have been unimpressed, and in fact disappointed with Earthkeeper is both the quality and quantity of food. First, the quality of produce seems downright sad when compared to what is available at the farmer's market. Over the season we got the feeling that what we got in the CSA was what wouldn't sell in the farm's market stand. Second, compared to our experience with other CSA's we were shocked by how little we received. I understand that part of the CSA experience is rolling with the bounty or lack thereof but this was not even in the same ballpark. (Just a note that this share was even more money then at the other farm).

I understand that this is a new program for them and I do wish them well. But until there are significant improvements I will be signing up with another farm for oncoming seasons.
