Robinette Farms

I have been a member for three years now, and bought shares in both the summer and fall for two years. They have excellent quality vegetables; I often eat something from my share as soon as I get home from my pick-up. There is quite a bit of variety and even options within a specific vegetable. For example, when eggplants were in season, they had several types of eggplants from which to choose.

Choice is what I like best about Robinette Farms. I have bought shares from other CSAs in the past and was accustomed to getting a box of produce with no control over the contents. Robinette Farms sets up a canopy, much like a stall at the Farmers Market, and members choose which item they want: I can pick a large cucumber or a small one. And then there is the "Trade Basket". At one end of the stall there is a basket where the member can trade one item for another. So if I do not want something in this week's share, say spinach, and someone else has left something that I do want, I just swap it.

Robinette Farms offers a range of sizes of shares in their summer CSA from mini to large. They have two pick-up days and locations. Their website is easy to navigate, making it a snap to buy a share.
