Reviews for: Paradise Organics

Based on my 5 years of patronage, Paradise Organics can be best described as a "Cornicopia of Health and Nutrition" for the health conscious individual and family, and the living example of how a successful organic farm is operated". The overall color, smell, size, and taste of Paradise Organics splended produce is the quality world class chefs reputations are built upon. Swiss Chard showing off the leaves of deepest green and the most spectaular red stems, and spinach leaves the size of banana tree leaves are a common sight on Bob's farm.

Common sense tells us that in organic farming, chemical manipulation and genetic engineering does not exist and the health of the plants and the harvest don't lie in relation to overall plant health and the resulting harvest. They are a direct reflection of the quality of the soil, proper balance of sun, water, and organic amendments demonstrating a full spectrum of tantalizing satsfaction of the senses by the colors, size, smell, and taste as a tell-tale sign of the balanced health and nutrition expected from the freshest fruits and vegetables available.

Tender asparagus, succulent tomatoes, and the freshest, fertile eggs from the free range chickens eating the most nutritious vegetables and sprouts from the farm are just a pitence of what's on the fresh produce menu at Paradise Organics

Whether it's the aroma of Walla Walla onions, roasting fresh garlic and or savoring one of the many different varieties of flavor packed potatoes in tender skins, once you've sampled from Paradise Organic's 'Horn of Plenty" I think you'll agree with me that when buying produce elswhere its like living on bread and water. The flavor and energy you feel from other organic produce dwarfs in comparison.

Once you meet and begin to converse with Bob, the farm's proprietor, you begin to realize that this little farm truly is his labor of love. He has a deep seeded passion for farming and maticulously researches and chooses only the finest seeds and amendments for Paradise Organics. Bob has spent years developing the best seeds and breeds of vegetables to provide the finest produce one can muster from this quaint little farm. The special care taken to nuture only the best, year after year, is self evident by the growing display of nature's best taking a panaramic view of Paradise Organics entire operation form the parking area and store. The orderly cleanliness and how everything has been planned as nature intended in support of the overall focus of the farm, reflects the well seasoned expertise in stewardship by Bob and his staff and inspires the confidence that you are trusting your health and nutrtion to the best of the best.

I am Bob's neighbor and for five years I've observed the passion for perfection that Paradise Organics strives for in their produce. The prices are comparable to your local grocery store gmo, petro-chemically poisoned nutritionless garbage.

Paradise Organics...it's worth the trip

I bought herb starts, tomato starts, and several not-so-well-known plants that are thriving in my garden. Bob's specific attention to his soil makes all his plants a cut above everyone else. My chickens also love the organic feed he sells in his store. Not only does he make sure his plants are healthy and of top quality, he helps the customer care for his/her soil so that the plants have a perfect place to grow. All that's left is to get him in the Yelm Farmers Market so everyone else will know just how special his products are! :-)

We moved here recently from the Austin, TX area where organic food is abundant and of great quality. Wow, none of them had anything on Paradise. Great people, great produce. Love all the gardening services they have available to novices like me and what a wealth of information these folks are! A bit out of the way, but you won't regret it. Super excited for their delivery program this summer! Keep up the good work Paradise!

Paradise Organics is aptly named. A lovely place to find honest food for your family. Prices are always fair, often the same as non-organics at the local grocers. However the quality, is always much better than I would find elsewhere, even other organic markets. Vegetables are freshly picked, in some cases as you request them, and delicious. Bob and Jane use their extensive knowledge to select and grow great food. I am thrilled to have found them.

Bob is an incredibly knowledgeable biodynamic Organic farmer every part of his farm is in harmony with nature. He completes the circle. I just found the farm and he only had winter squash but it was great. Bob helped me set-up my greenhouse and is plethora of valuable information he had exactly everything I needed to start my soil for my raised beds garden.

I look forward to a healthier life because of the dedication Bob has to farming the "Correct Way"

We discovered Paradise Organics in the middle of the summer last year. Our only disappointment has been that we didn't find the farm sooner. Once they closed for the winter it has been a real disappointment to shop at the store for organic produce. Bob and Jane have spoiled us! It was such a joy to go out each week and pick out our produce or have it hand-picked for us. They take such care with their vegetables and fruit, and the proof is in the eating. We have had good luck with their veggie starts as well. We enjoy the weekly newsletter with all types of gardening information. It's not just good eating--it is an educational experience too. We can't wait for spring and to get back to our weekly trips to Paradise! Thank you Bob and Jane, Theo and Keith Skogsberg

It's late November, I stopped by Paradise Organics because my husband has had "the flu" for a week. He went to the doctor & got tons of drugs &..........he still isn't getting any better. I saw Bob's news letter with the link to cayenne pepper & immediatley went there to get some. As usual, Bob was his normal sweet self, gave me a recipe full of herbs, I bought them from him, went home gave the brew to my husband ( and took some myself since I don't have it yet). After he drank the brew, there was not one more caugh out of him for the entire evening. He is still sleeping, which he hasn't been able to do all week because of the caughing. I feel terrific. Bob & Jane have always been a wealth of information about health & good food. I feel fortunate to know them & to have a trusted source of fresh food. I'm not a health nut. I just know that I prefer using food to treat & heal our body rather than drugs. I love being able to shop in the new indoor food gallery they just built. I also love that I don't have to spend a fortune to buy fresh organic veggies & herbs. Why would I by at Safeway when I can get more variety & all organic at competive & sometimes lower prices at Paradise. Bob & Jane you're the best, you're definitely keepers. We love you guys, thanks for everything you do for this community & for us, Katherine & Jim Stutz

I have been purchasing produce from Paradise Organics since the very start of this season. I have found all items daily fresh picked, full of sweet wonderful favors and a deal at the price I am paying for the quality of what Bob and Jane sell. I have also found going out to Paradise is exactly that, paradise. Bob one day said to me that I could call and he would have my order ready when I get there. I told him I would rather just come and pick it out becauese it is such a joy to be there and to get to know Bob and Jane a little better each time I go and talk with them. Not only are their products classy, Bob and Jane are classy people too. I challenge all to go and try and you will be hooked. Michael and Arlene Shaffer Clearwood community Ass. residence

Paradise Organics has the best salad mix I have ever had. They are absolutely worth the drive to and from the farm to pick up the mix.

I have also had really good luck with the plant starts I have gotten from them.

I have been shopping at Paradise Organics for awhile now. I live 30 minutes away but it's worth the trip every time. They have wonderful organic vegetable starts for about the price of conventional starts at a mega mart. They even guarantee them!

Their vegetables and salad greens are the best you can find anywhere. Not to mention this place is truly "paradise." It's a gorgeous sanctuary, and a farm at the same time, it's just a pleasure to be in it's midst. If you haven't been here you really are in for a treat when you arrive at this gem. The unparalleled quality and superior customer service you recieve here is worth going out of your way for.

Thanks Bob and Jane for creating such a fabulous place!

It is spring according to the calendar and sure enough Paradise Organics has a fantastic salad mix to end a beautiful day. I would recommend it to anyone that wants the best greens I have ever found. Thank you Bob & Jane. Sincerely / John

On thing that impressed me was the large variety of vegetables Bob and Jane grow especially ones I had never tried before. I was delighted to be introduced to delicious squashes and greens. Their tomatoes are big and juicy and have that home grown taste you can't compare. I highly recommend buying your veggies there. You can't beat the service. Just the beauty of their place is worth a visit.

We have been personally buying from Paradise Organics for the last 3 years and have always been impressed with the quality of what we get. We know Bob and Jane and know they put a great deal of care and personal pride into everything they do.

Last year we began buying produce for the Yelm Food Co-op and just couldn't keep enough in stock! Both Bob and Jane have been willing to react quickly to our needs and we hope to be able to expand our purchases from them in the coming year as we get better at managing our produce department.

5 stars!!

My first trip to Toboton Valley Organics was disappointing in the fact that I had not gone sooner. Their selection is plentiful. If it is not already picked, it is hand picked for you. My car smelled wonderful on the way home and my family couldn't wait to eat the vegetables I had brought. They are well worth the drive out. I am eagerly looking forward to my next trip.

The beans, the beautiful tomatoes and salad greens are all such a treasure. One cannot say enough about Bob and Jane's attention to the details of producing wonderful things to eat and create dishes with. After living down the street for years, We have temporarily left the area and miss it very much. Looking forward to being in the neighborhood again. thanks paul

Bob and Jane have done an outstanding job on Toboton Farm. I must confess I am a little prejudice since I am Bob's Mom. However, since this was my first experience with an organic farm, it sure opened my eyes. Not only are the vegetables, salads and eggs scrumptious - they are healthy for you. I have talked with no less than three physicians who say "we should all be eating like that". Their salad bags are a special treat that we should all have !!. I am in Michigan but I can't wait to get back to Yelm, Washington to help a little on that farm and to have some more of that wonderful "soul food" !!
