Sunseed Farm

This review relates to a full winter 2012 CSA share.

Sunseed advertises that they:"design our shares to provide enough vegetables for your family" and that the 2012 winter share includes: "over twenty kinds of cold-hardy greens, root vegetables and herbs from our hoops, as well as about a dozen different kinds of vegetables from our fall harvest in storage". My experience is that you can't be eating many vegetables if this is supposed to be enough for a family. Last weeks' share was a gallon bag of baby kale (1 meal for a family of 3-4), a gallon bag of mixed lettuces (another meal, or maybe even the same meal), a very large rutabaga, 4 onions, a bunch of carrots, a small bunch of cilantro, a small bunch of parsley, 4 potatoes and perhaps one more item that I've overlooked. You may judge if that is enough vegetables for a family. I don't think so, unless we are only talking about feeding the putative family for a couple of days. Re variety, so far we have received 5-6 different kinds of greens; perhaps the other 14-15 are in the mesclun mixes. Everything is fresh and in excellent shape, but the small quantities make this an extremely expensive CSA share. I'll be asking a lot more questions before I sign up for another CSA share with anyone.
