Harmony Valley Farm

A friend of ours has been a member of HVF for a few years now, and we couldn't stand seeing her pictures on Facebook any longer. It looked way too good, so we made the decision to just sign up. We went back and forth between doing full or half shares, and ultimately decided to jump in the deep end with full shares of the veggies and fruit, and a monthly cheese share. I think we made a mistake. We need more cheese.

Describing the quality of the produce will never do it justice - it is simply incredible. There are some oddball things thrown in, but we get a kick out of learning about them and trying to use them in new recipes (fennel is awesome in pasta if you cook it down long enough, and ramps are our new favorite thing - ever).

Some other friends of ours went with a "cheaper" CSA and are kicking themselves after weeks of cabbage and lettuce and then seeing what we get. Better produce, better variety of produce and more of it. Pound for pound, this is the best CSA, not just in Minnesota or Wisconsin, but in the entire universe. I'm not qualified to make that statement, but I'd like to think that I'm never wrong.

God willing and the creek don't rise, we will be getting our produce from Harmony Valley for the rest of our lives. Does that convey my eternal happiness? Did I rush it? I rushed it. Darn it all. If anyone from HVF is reading this: YOUR FOOD ROCKS MY FACE OFF!
