Minor problems to start off with, not a big deal but it should have clued me in...
The deliveries were on Thursday, not Wed. as indicated on all information.
The website and paperwork also said that we would get recipes, know ahead of time what we were getting and all of that but it never happened, and forget about the chart on the website showing what produce you would be getting..
The first deliveries started in late June, they were great, a lot of food and herbs, almost too much food for us to use. But this didn't last very long.
I think we only got herbs 2-3 times total and it seemed like we were only getting tomatoes and peppers and then one random food. A few times when the produce was light Matt would give us a paper bag of peaches or a mellon but they were so bruised and mushy that they wouldn't last 1 day, I ended up tossing most of them.
We would usually get a text (Thurs) the day of telling us when to expect the food delivery, the window was usually 2 hours and then another text when he was very close to our apt. This was ok I understand parking/driving in Hoboken can be a pain, but getting veggies at 9:30 on a Thursday night when we're going out of town on Friday morning became a problem for us a few times.
He also texted us that the family is going on vacation & there would be no deliveries that week (the day of the delivery)! If I would have known ahead of time I would have gone to the farmers market on Tuesday! I grew up in the country, farmers in my family, no farmer goes on vacation when they have crops in season. Also thought this was strange. If you're going on vacation can you give us a heads up ahead of time? But this is the thing that really bothered me and the reason why I am writing this review... WE ONLY GOT HALF OF OUR DELIVERIES! Only 12 out of 24!
I know there was a hurricane and lots of rain this summer/fall but only half? We paid full price, I understand some problems but there were always farmers at our local farmers market with produce.
The last 3 or 4 times we heard from Matt were text messages (on Thursday nights) saying something like �?�¢�¯�¿�½?�¯�¿�½?Sorry there won't be any delivery this week because of the rain. Next week we will have ... ... & ... for you." Then the next week would be a similar text.
We have tried contacting Matt numerous times in mid October but heard nothing from him. It is now November as I am writing this.
I love the idea of the CSA but I would not recommend this farm.
