Alstede Farms

This is our 3rd year with Alstede CSA and have no plans to change it. Here is why it is worth it: 1) awesome produce for 32 weeks of the year that is local and sustainable. 2) they introduced Harvey last year which lets us modify the food we will get - we review every week and take out things we don't like and add more of what we like which further reduces food waste. 3) with your CSA comes free farm admission. Especially this year this was incredibly valuable because my family is still avoiding indoor places (for anyone reading this in the future: COVID virus transmission is higher indoors as of this review) I admit I found CSA a bit hard to keep for my family the first year but now i'm a pro. Every Thursday when we get the produce I wash and prep everything. Also plan menus accordingly throughout the week - proud to say this year we threw out only some radishes due to our bad planning.
