One Acre Farm

My husband and I have been members of One Acre Farm since 2010 and have loved every minute! Farmer Mike's passion for farming is contagious, and we look forward to walking over to the pickup spot every Thursday. I've heard that other CSAs box up the produce for their members -- not so with One Acre Farm. Members walk up to the pickup, enjoy conversation with other members who are picking up, and weigh and select all of their own produce based on the guidelines each week. Spot a particularly lovely looking eggplant? It's yours! Know that you won't be able to use all of the potatoes you're allowed that week? Take only what you need!

We've loved the variety of veggies, especially learning more about leafy greens. And Farmer Mike knows his stuff -- it's fun to visit the actual farm and hear him talk about the machinery and how he cycles the crops through the fields. Finally, any extra produce each week is donated to a food bank in town.

It's a win-win-win-win for everyone involved -- we can't wait for the 2012 season to start!
