I've been receiving a CSA box for 7 weeks now and I really enjoy it. I started with the 5-week sampler subscription to see if I would actually use the items enough to warrant subscribing and I have used pretty much everything each week, so I eagerly renewed. I love the fact that the food is organic and locally grown. We receive a weekly newsletter letting us know what to expect in that week's box so it is easy to plan out meals in advance. There are also recipes and ideas for how to use the items in the box. I've discovered new vegetables and items I've never had before, some of which turned into new favorites (rhubarb, ramps, and honey puffed corn especially!). I revolve my weekly meals around what's in the box that week which has led to me eating much healthier overall. I looked into different CSAs and the Murray Hill Farm CSA is by far the most affordable and accessible (they deliver to several sites in western Cuyahoga and pretty much all of Lorain County).

I was new and the second pickup I went up and said my name (which is what we were supposed to do at another CSA I was in) and Chuck stared at me and rudely replied that he knew. I went back on week three and stated that my husband accidentally recycled the box. A woman next to me started joking and we exchanged some silly humor. Chuck then went off about not wanting "foul women" in his CSA line and proceeded to tell me he will leave my next box on the curb for pickup. I was baffled. I explained we didn't swear or say anything crude. His response was "women text him all the time complaining about their husbands". Super weird experience and I do not appreciate being followed to my car while he ranted. We playfully joke and are happy in my family. He might have been having a bad day but do not take that out on a customer. Or call me foul mouth when I didn't use swearing or anything remotely to it. I have never had an experience like that before. Super strange for all the positive reviews.

We have been enjoying Murray Hill Farms?s fresh organic CSA several full years through the winters. They keep it interesting by introducing us to vegetables that are not typically found at grocery stores, and allowing substitutions if there is anything that we cannot use for any reason. I also enjoy adding on tasty meats and eggs. I always look forward to my Wednesday pickup.

Friday is the best day of the week! Why? Because we get to bring home a whole box of surprises, as my 4 year old daughter would articulate it. After we became members of the CSA, we have tried out and learned about so many new fruits, berries and vegetables. Also we don't have to go to the store anymore, cause we can get everything through the CSA and the taste and quality is waaaaay better. The weekly newsletter has been a gamechanger with helpful tips, advices and recipes for putting our produce to good use. Thank you Chuck and Charlie!

It?s fun to see what new recipes we can make with them and there is a fun newsletter that is always a delight to read with recipes, and fun facts.

My husband and I started this CSA in February and have been loving it so far! I truly believe one of the best things you can do for yourself is to eat local, organic, in season produce. And this CSA allows you to do exactly that! We love the fact that it is a year round CSA & they offer not only vegetables, but also fruit & herbs. The produce we receive each week is so fresh and has so much more flavor than anything you will find at the grocery store. We have also tried a lot of new things that we would not normally pick up at the store. Chuck & Charlie are great! I always look forward to the email we receive from them each week with what will be in our box. There is also a nice list of "add-on" options to choose from (additional produce, meat, cheese, eggs, & a whole lot more). Food just tastes better when you know where is comes from and you have a personal connection with the local farmers who supply you with the wonderful produce. Just give this a try, you wont regret it!

My partner and I, first-timers to a CSA program, are nearing our seventh week with Murray Hill Farm, and we couldn't be happier! The entire experience has been a joy and the produce and products are amazing; inside and out.
Prior to finding Murray Hill Farm, we had been searching for a CSA program that focused on local, healthy, organic, fresh, tasty and good for you foods with great folks to connect with, and we found it, and more, with the lovely folks at, and connected to, Murray Hill Farm!
We loved "true foods" before, but the goodies that you receive from Murray Hill Farm are truly the truest of true foods! Making meals was a joy before we started getting foods from Murray Hill Farm, and now, the experience is that much more joyous and nourishing. We can taste the freshness in all the produce, meats, ciders and everything else we have added to our weekly orders, and our bodies are loving it, too! It is like Christmas all year long!
We thoroughly enjoy everything about MHF!

I found Murray on Local Harvest while looking for locally grown food. I am so glad I found this CSA for our family. We purchased 20 weeks of the Large box with eggs! I share this with my parents and it is more than enough to feed 5 adults. Chuck sends wonderful emails each week about what to anticipate in each pick-up along with great tips and recipes. We have tried several new veggies we would have never tried before had we not found this CSA. Everything has been fresh and amazing. They also offer add-ons weekly that we have especially appreciated during the pandemic. Will definitely renew when our 20 weeks is over.

I signed up with my 3 housemates for 8 weeks of the Murray Hill Farm CSA, as school closed during the pandemic and we were looking for ways to find affordable food while supporting local farmers. This CSA was amazing, it ran smooth like clock work with great produce every week as well as some extra surprises thrown in. My housemates and I really enjoyed the unpacking our box each Friday, always a highlight of my week. Chuck Murray sends incredible emails each week, with details about the behind-the-scenes work involved in compiling the CSA boxes, helpful and yummy recipes, and of course, the list of box items. An absolute joy to read these emails from Chuck and Charlie throughout these 8 weeks. I highly recommend Murray Hill Farm CSA!

The CSA is amazing! We started on the small box with eggs, and then upgraded to the big box since it was so good. There's always a great variety and Chuck offers alternatives if you're tired of something specific. There are a lot of good pickup locations too!
The veggies and eggs taste so much better than store bought! Chuck was able to get us three different types of flour and even a Thanksgiving turkey!

The winter boxes have a great assortment of produce as well as the summer boxes. I am looking forward to picking up my box this week to get all the produce I will need to make my Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you so much Chuck Murray! and Thank you Ohio for all this awesome local produce!!!

My family and I have been enjoying the fruits and vegetables from our Murray Hill boxes weekly! We absolutely love the cucumbers, seasonal squash, sweet potatoes, eggplant, and honey crisp apples especially. The honey crisp apple cider they sell is the best cider I have ever had! We have had a great experience all summer and now into the fall. We often have more food than what we can use in a week, so I freeze it for later use. I am very happy with the quality and quantity of food we get in our small box for $25. If there is ever anything in the box that I would prefer to trade out, Chuck is always ready to help. It is easy to pick up at the Medina Farmers Market that we go to every week since we always go to pick up our vegetables and a few other things. It has significantly reduced our number of trips to the grocery store and quickly increased our intake of healthy, organic food. We could not be happier!

I was impressed by the positive reviews, but I've had a very different experience.
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." (!)

We have been subscribing to the Winter and Summer CSA at Murray Hill Farm for 3 years. We obviously have been very satisfied with the quality of the produce and other products that they provide. Chuck is always accommodating if we cannot make our normal pickup time/day. Often he adds in extra produce if it is available making up for any weeks that may have had fewer items due to weather. We have received much more organic produce than we could purchase in the store for the cost of the CSA. Chuck offers discounts and extra products for early payment every season and it keeps us out of the big box grocery stores which is what our original goal was. His produce is incomparable, non GMO and free of chemicals and pesticides. The CSA at Murray Hill has been a wonderful resource for our family. I would recommend it to anyone looking to support local business.

He is always willing to work with us to ensure that we have a positive CSA experience. We but very little at the grocery store and don't plan on ever returning! Thanks, Chuck!

We purchased the full share with eggs, we have yet to receive a full box since it began and have gone weeks without eggs. More than half the produce that is in season and on the list of expected items we have not gotten. One box I received had four peaches (along with a few other produce items) in it, and they were completely rotten and moldy. We are supposed to get a dozen eggs every other week, and went four weeks without getting any. A friend of mine went with another farm and their box is full with all different types of produce, we have yet to have that. It is over $36 a week, I feel I could go to a farmers marker and purchase much more produce and a larger variety for that amount of money. We have been getting zucchini, squash, cucumbers, and cabbage...I love those things but was really looking forward to a variety of produce. We are very disappointed.

As a member of the CSA program, I found myself disappointed in the amount of produce that I get each week. The share is supposed to be approximately one bushel per week, and I have found that it has consistently been half of a bushel or less. So, the quantity is what I'm really disappointed in. I know that MHF takes pride in its product, and the quality has been fine, but for what it charges (higher than the average CSA), I'm not sure it's worth it.
There are many, many positive reviews for MHF, so maybe it's just me!?

Our winter share with Murray Hill Farm was the first CSA experience we have ever had, and I must say it exceeded our expectations by far. We were astounded at the wonderful variety of vegetables, fruit, meats, eggs, grain products, and all of the great extras like honey, maple syrup, jam, cider and so much more. Everything was of the highest quality and so flavorful. The meat literally melts in your mouth. You can really taste the difference when you buy locally grown food. Chuck is very knowledgeable, great to work with and you can see that he puts his heart and soul into his farm. He cares about his CSA customers, answers any questions we may have, and shares a glimpse of his life on Murray Hill Farm through his website and facebook page. It is so much fun to see the video clips he posts. It makes you feel like you are right there working right along side of him, plus it is great to see where your food comes from. I encourage you to give the Murray Hill CSA a try. You will be glad you did!

After hearing all the great things about CSA's and Murray Hill Farm, we decided to give it a run and haven't looked back. Let me tell you first hand; the switch from grocery store bought produce to Murray Hill Farm has been astounding! It can not get any more fresh, which makes for some fantastic cooking. My husband thinks I am a gourmet chef now and he's even joined me in the kitchen!
Chuck has been great to work with. His excitement and knowledge has inspired me to learn more about my food. Not just where it comes from and how it gets there (next time check the labels and see just how far the stuff travels to get to you- and ask yourself how fresh could it really be?) but also different kinds of fruits & vegetables that aren't even in the stores! He shares recipes and tips on what to use first out of your CSA basket. You will have fun experimenting in the kitchen and finding new ways to prepare foods you have made for years.
Not only is the food great but so are the people at Murray Hill. They take great pride in what they do & it shows. You are even welcome out on the Farm to help & you'll catch me out there getting my hands dirty. The baskets are plentiful and so are the friends. As Murray Hill saying goes ****Peace, Love & Veggies***** Thanks guys!- Trish

This is my first CSA experience and I really enjoyed the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Also I have tried many new vegetables (new to me) that I have seen at the grocery store and passed by. From the spring asparagus and rhubarb to the summer tomatoes and herbs to the fall squash there has been a nice variety. Also having the free range eggs each week has been a luxury. Chuck corresponds often with recipes, farm updates and photos along with what will be provided at the next pick up. I feel he really wants his members to be involved. The pick up at Kamm's Corner is a snap. Plus the option of honey, flowers, maple syrup, meat and/or extra fruits and vegetables is a nice option. Thanks for a great summer.

Wow! What a great opportunity.
We were able to be part of Murray Hill Farm's CSA program starting in the spring of 2010. Weekly, we received bountiful baskets of fresh produce from the farm. The continual supply of locally grown, organic produce has been amazing. New items would be added as they came into harvest. Recipes and recommended uses for the weekly crops were a bonus.
Farmer Chuck puts his heart and soul into his work!
Fresh free range chicken eggs were delicious. Our whole family appreciated the more flavorful taste in the eggs! We also were able to purchase fresh cut (then frozen) chickens, pork-packs and beef for our meat supply. Outstanding.
It has been quite a treat to be part of the Murray Hill farm CSA. We look forward to future deliveries! We can't recommend it enough.

This was my first CSA experience. I chose to purchase a half share with half a dozen eggs. I was not sure what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fruits and veggies I received every week. I absolutely enjoyed trying new items that I had never used before. I appreciated that Chuck would take the time to tell us what to expect each week. He works very hard to provide great quality produce as well as many other options such as free range eggs, chickens, honey, pork, fresh flowers, etc. He provides a lot of options. It was fantastic to know that everything I was eating was grown organically and was healthy for me. I especially loved the free range eggs and it was a relief to know they were on hand. It was a good experience. I would recommend Murray Hill.

This is my second CSA, and so far my favored one. I really appreciated the availability of eggs, fruits and meats, in addition to the vegetables that I normally associate with CSAs. The variety of foods that came in each week had me perusing my cookbooks to find the best seasonal combination of everything that was available. I had a blast looking up and sharing recipes with other people in the CSA.
I highly recommend at least coming out to the farm to see where the food is grown. There's little recommendation greater than a land cared for with love.

Chuck and Sue are dedicated farmers who provide a beautiful and plentiful variety of veggies and herbs as well as delicious farm fresh eggs, honey and meats. It all starts in the spring with asparagus and peas followed by the summer favorites sweet corn and tomatoes. There are an array of squashes, garlic and the best onions I have ever had to enjoy in the fall and all winter long. It feels good to eat with the seasons and I feel great feeding my family locally and organically raised foods that are grown with love.

The farmers are super nice, helpful, offer a product that is exactly as wonderful as they say it is. The eggs are the best, after having these eggs you will not want to ever buy from the grocery store again! The garlic and onions are super juicy and delicious. Everything was great!

This past spring I finally bit the bullet and joined a CSA. I'd been thinking of doing so for years, and for one reason or another (generally due to my own laziness) always managed to miss out. Chuck and Sue made this an experience that I'd recommend to anyone. Their produce was always top quality, the extras just kept coming and they were wonderful. They even provided recipes. I have never been much of a beef eater (I think because the grocery store stuff is so gross), but the beef I got from Murray Hill was just yummy. The chickens were tender and each made two meals (we just had the last one yesterday), and the eggs are to die for. In a time when we need to think of our land stewardship more and more, these people are out in the field doing the hard work. All I had to do was pick up my produce and eat it right away or freeze it for use this winter. And speaking of this winter, I had so much (we are a family of four) to put up that we still have a pretty well stocked freezer and larder. If all goes as it has been, not only are we eating fresher, healthier locally grown food, but we're saving money on our food bill. I have estimated that our total savings from June 2009 to May 2010 will be right around $1000. If you live near Wakeman or the Kamm's Corners area of Cleveland, Ohio this would be well worth it for you and your family.

Not sure what this review is all about with your negative experience. My wife and I have been members of this CSA for 3 years now, and it has been nothing like this, and actually it is the complete opposite. We find Chuck to be extremely flexible in all phases from where we pick up from week to week, to changes in our order and add ons. We talk to many other members of this CSA and their experiences and we have never heard of anything like this at all being the case. My take is if you have a perceived problem then take that up with Chuck before posting something like this to resolve a perceived experience as being negative at your CSA pickup. None-the-less, the experience we have had, and the product speaks for itself as nothing short of AMAZING week in and week out. And as we see this CSA growing and flourishing with new faces at picks up weekly, that speaks volumes about the organic growth going on.
