Valley Family Farm / www.ValleyFamilyFarm.com

I picked up my last box of 2011 from Valley Family Farm yesterday. This season they had some of the most spectacular sweet corn I've had in a long time. Their lettuces in spring are outstanding. I also like the fact that they're one of the few that operates an extra month in fall--until the end of October--so I get plenty of winter squash, one of my favorites. (It's also when the pumpkins, Brussels sprouts and honey come in.) I signed up for this CSA in 2009 and 2011, but unfortunately missed 2010. Both years I got many, but not all, of the items listed. That's the way farming goes--some years some crops shine, others fail. I get the large box, which gives us plenty to eat fresh and also enough to freeze for use during the winter. I will be joining Valley Family Farm's CSA next year for sure!
