The Zahradka Farm at Brown's Cove

I appreciate the reviewer's concerns. I have been a member of three CSA's in as many years. We had a summer share from The Zahradka Farms last season and currently have a winter share. We are a vegan family of 6 so you will understand that vegetables are very important to us. I think CSA members need to ascertain why they are members to begin with. If you are a member to enjoy the freshest, and therefore the most flavorful produce available at a reasonable price with the benefit of knowing WHO is growing your food and that your purchase really makes a difference in a farmer's (family's) life then you should consider over looking some of the business operations shortfalls. I want a farmer who grows good food. It would be great if the operation could be run more "businesslike" but the reality of small family farms is that is very difficult. When they are busy making sure there is food for us to eat the technology/communication stuff regrettably falls by the wayside. Neither of the first two programs we were a part of were any better about communications then this reviewer's experience. To my knowledge George and Libby have always striven to correct any errors - - though it might take a while. I also know that they are working to improve on this. For us the produce is the main thing. Oftentimes, when our family sits down to dinner and EVERYTHING on our plates is from The Zahradka Farms we are all thankful for what their all consuming labor provides for us. In the real scheme of things, while frustrating, a few un-returned e-mails/phone calls doesn't seem so important when we are really well fed. I whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone considering a CSA membership this year.
