A CSA subscription requires trust in the farmer.
I don't like waiting in a parking lot for an order that never shows up, only to learn later that Chuck changed the pickup time but did not tell me. After many unsatisfactory communications with Chuck about things that should be simple and straightforward, I have given up and asked for a refund. I do not want to introduce rancor into my experience of buying healthy food.
I paid Chuck $450 for produce and eggs. I've received three weeks of produce and a dozen eggs. Without a refund, it will be the most expensive cabbage and squash I've ever purchased!
I also paid $700 for a meat order. Chuck cashed my check, which had the amount and prices of the meat on it. Now he wants more money for the meat order. I want a refund, which he refuses.
When I said I would post a review, Chuck said he was contacting his attorney and "a prosecutor." (!)

Chuck's comment is simply not accurate. He seems to have a hard time tracking things. I never received a refund, nor a refund for $700 which I paid him for a meat order and did not receive! He was very defensive when I complained. I sent him a registered letter in preparation for taking him to small claims court but he refused to pick it up at the post office, and it was eventually returned to me. I lost over $1000 and have little recourse except to take him to court and to warn others that he is not reliable except to his friends who write in good reviews.

Unfortunately, this customer missed several pickups and blamed us. We have had a fantastic Summer season so far.

Another in accurate review. This customer received her meat. She made a mistake as her daughter picked up her share. Too bad she doesn't remove this negative review.
