Heirloom Italy A P Marrone Farm

Cons: -It took a few deliveries to get on a regular schedule. So when I ran out of food, I never knew if I should go and pick up a day or two worth, or just nibble at what's left and wait for the delivery.

-6/10 deliveries contained one or three veggies that were way overripe and starting to go bad.

-This farm is bad about answering their phones/emails if you have a question or a complaint.

-I don't care for most of the veggies they grew.

Pros:

+The veggies were fresh and delicious. I don't remember ever eating such melt-in-your-mouth cantelope. And what I wouldn't do for that sweet watermelon this chilly November night.

+The tomatoes were as juicy as they say.

+I love the peace of mind that I get when eating local, naturally grown produce. I feel uneasy buying organic apples from New Zealand. And I'm pregnant, so supporting the local farmers who treat the earth and veggies right is doubly important now.

+I think Heirloom Italy AP Marrone CSA costs less than if you bought the same at a farmer's market.

+I don't have a car, so the CSA saved me many ours of time, money and trouble trouble of lugging veggies from the farmers market.

Would I join a CSA again? Most definitely. Would I join Heirloom Italy A P Marrone Farm? Only if there was no other CSA in my price range because as fresh as these veggies are, none of them are my favorites.
