Reviews for: Yellow Wood Farms

This is my first season in the CSA and I absolutely love it. I've been raving to my friends. I am so impressed at the variety and quality of produce I'm getting, and the pricing is great. I live by myself and a half-share is just enough for me and occasionally my boyfriend when he comes over for dinner.

Every week we get a helpful newsletter with recipes and farm info.

I will be attending this farm's open house soon and I can't wait to see the place for myself! I will definitely be part of next year's season. Great produce, great value, and great people.

Oh, and the Mercantile is great. It's like a food co-op for shareholders. There are wonderful specials and a wide variety of local foods to try. Definitely a perk of the CSA membership!

We have been members of this wonderful CSA from the beginning. The selection and value continues to increase each year. The vegetable products are continually exceptional with new items constantly being added. The Yellow Wood family maintains excellent communication with weekly farm updates, recipes, added products and ongoing growing conditions. We truly feel a special part of this local harvest experience.

We understand this coming 2010 added to the ease of local pickup, home delivery and a local members mercantile, where we can leisurely gather, are being added.

This is a very fulfilling experience for health and a great connection to local produce.

My wife and I had a great experience purchasing our produce from Yellow Wood Farms last summer. Having never used a service like this we were a little concerned we'd end up with 8 lbs of green beans and a couple potatoes a few weeks in a row. The folks at Yellow Wood made that concern completely irrelevant. The variety of veggies was impressive each week. Potatoes, cabbage, green beans, summer and winter squash, tomatoes, apples, beets are just a few that come to mind and this is about 7 months after the last installment.

The best perk we didn't see coming was the line on other offers. For instance, at the end of the tomato season Yellow Wood offered an option to purchase 25# of tomatoes for canning and saucing. We hadn't considered doing that prior to the offer, but since it was on the table we took advantage of it and had a great time enjoying sauce we made well into the winter. We were also given access to a great list of trees available for purchase from their nursery. While we didn't buy any this year, I have every confidence they would be as good and consistent as the produce.

I bought a half-share last year (2008) from this farm; the shares were generous enough that I had to split it with a friend, which provided enough food for both of us to make several meals a week.

The variety is great, with at least 6-8 different items in each week's box, and the produce of course is tremendous. At $20/week for a half share, you really can't go wrong! I only wish their season were longer!

The delivery arrangements were also extremely convenient, with pickup from a local resident's front porch available on a weeknight from 5-8 PM; as long as I remembered to pick up my veggies, it was perfect.

The only thing I would like to see is more fruit...they have wonderful melons and apples, but no other fruits. But the melon season is something like six weeks long (they delivered watermelon in October!)
