Revive Gardens

By: Local Eater (Jul 28, 2015)
This CSA started later than others in the area, and only had lettuce/chard/kale with the occasional bunch of basil. I was hoping that the variety & amount would pick up when the weather got hotter. Instead, the farm sent out an email saying that they would take a 3-4 week break while they replanted. The farm had cancelled its farmers' markets and restaurant deliveries to focus on the CSA portions. I should hope so! We CSA members are the only fools who paid for the entire season up front - yes, our shares should be prioritized! The owner also said he was going to "get a real job" just so they could keep the lights on, and he would keep working to get the CSA functioning. Then, they sent out another email saying that the CSA was cancelled! Of course, I understand the risk of Mother Nature and wouldn't complain if there's some hail or insects. But I got ripped off: several hundred dollars for a few bags of lettuce. Ridiculous! I will definitely join a CSA next spring but NOT this one!!
