We were previous members of a larger CSA and decided to give Little Gnome Farm a try this year. We were disappointed in a few ways. First, we never new what was coming in the share. Email newsletters were few and far between. When they were sent out, we were never sure if they were for the past week or the coming week since the produce didn't always match up. It's great that they offer pick up at the farmer's market but the shares were not pre packed so Paul would just grab handfuls of produce from his stand and pack up a bag while we waited. Some time he would accidentally forget to put something in or give us 2 portions of the same thing. The variety of the produce was ok but sometimes the quality was not up to par. Snap peas were harvested way after their prime so they were tough and stringy. A couple of times our eggplants rotted after a few days in the fridge. It's a small operation and I think it's just him and his family working the farm. We were disappointed.
