Angelic Organics

My family has been a shareholder since 1995, and we are still in love with Angelic Organics. This is the only CSA in the Chicago area using biodynamic practices to nourish their soil (the gold standard of organics), and it shows in the taste and vitality of their vegetables. The tomatoes are tomato-ey, the carrots are strong and taste like carrots, the garlic is so strong it is medicinal! These fresh vegetables have all been picked 2-5 days before and only travel 80 miles to table. And the farm has never missed a delivery in 18 years.

There is a weekly newsletter included with each delivery, featuring a vegetable and referencing the recipes in the farm's very own cookbook.

They hold two field days each year, for families to share in a potluck, pick beans or pumpkins, take a hayride, pet the farm animals, or take a nap under a tree.

They have their own educational center which teaches young farmers how to farm, urbanites to keep bees, chickens and how to compost.

This is the farm and farmer, John Peterson, featured in the film, "The Real Dirt on Farmer John".
