Honey Brook Organic Farm

I love the herb garden, but I can replicate that myself with a little effort.

The volume of produce is good. But the variety is poor. I see the same things over and over and over again. Gets rather boring. My previous CSA (in a different region) had about 4x more variety. I want sunchokes, leeks, romanesco.... not 15 eggplants. I like eggplant, but I also like variety.

The tomatoes are only ok and not enough paste tomatoes are grown. The tomatoes are much better if kept on the counter to ripen a little more, except for the heirlooms.

I have also found the staff to be often uneducated about the produce and the storage / preparation of the produce they are offering. They often do not greet people and seem disinterested in the customers.

Thinking I will try a different CSA next year. Gave this one a couple years to try it out since so many people raved locally. Frankly, a number of the group of families that I am close to are planning to switch. Maybe it was better in the past?
