I understand that weather and crops cannot be predicted, but ignoring your customers is not right. Penny was a nice lady and very helpful. Yet, when the deliveries stopped, my emails & calls were ignored, I felt a little ripped off. I wish the best of luck to the Squeezepenny CSA, but I must tell the truth. We did not have alot of money, but I wanted to eat local and support my local farmers. Almost 200 dollars for membership fee, food delivery box and 6 shipments, then only get 3 shipments was a let down and hard on us to buy additional food in place of the CSA deliveries.

I am sorry your emails have been ignored. Penny has had some serious health issues and from what I know, she is in the hospital recovering. I will try to get more information from her family.

Please excuse my neglect of your review posted late 2011. Unfortunately and also very unexpectly I was hospitalized in serious condition early Oct. 2011. I returned home 24 days later only to be placed on total disability and follow with a year and a half of assorted therapies. I am glad to say that I am now eager and willing to get back to some hard work. I hope you can forgive the fact that I insisted, until now, to not "go public" with my private health matters. Please see how our web site has just recently been updated, I hope you approve: Farmer Penny truly apologizes for her "long silence" and looks forward to hearing from you all very soon. She truly owes her miraculous survival to our Lord, God. Please feel free to inquire in person for any updates on her continued recovery. She and her family thank everyone for their countless prayers and kind thoughts this past year and a half. Bringing us to date, oh how I hope that by now you were indeed offered the remainder of your 2011 Share's prepaid distributions. Sorry but with no name on this review I am unable to check. Please send a text message or leave a voice mail at (972) 838-3869 or email (at least just once more please, so I'll know one way or the other) csaplans@squeezepenny.com. We are just now ready to open for 2013 membership. Last year, in 2012, we had volunteers that prepared and distributed several members' prepaid 2011 fresh produce distributions of their 2011 Share(s), offered and sold prorated 2012 Shares to "Returning" members with a credit balance on their family's account, sold new 2012 Shares to "Returning" members and accepted only a small handful of "New" members. Please know we have always offerred to complete any Share's distributions beginning the next season or calendar year. Thank you, Penny Braley (972) 838-3869 P.S. I wanted you to see how I have now represented our CSA's history in the update to our 2013 web site located on the bottom center of our CSA page, again I hope you approve: Thank you to all of our SQP CSA Members that got us off to such a great beginning in 2009, through the record setting North Texas heat of 2010, through the historic 50 year record-setting Texas drought of 2011 and through a 2nd year in a row of a state-wide historic drought of 2012. As we all know, last year in 2012 the drought conditions were nation-wide! We look forward to serving you all in 2013 and to meeting "New Members" in the near future.
