Reviews for: Thornbury Farm CSA
If you love to cook and enjoy the best of organic products, do yourself a favor and take some of Thornbury Farm's classes.
The one on ghosts is alot of fun, too, and very intersting.
The produce is raised according to strict and high standards without pecticides and harmful sprays. It is fresh. local. delicious, and alot easier than doing the work yourself.
Naturally, any local grower is subject to weather and growing conditions of that season. However, that is part of the fun because when a bumper crop comes in you get the benefit. Looking forward to the bread making class. The quality of the instructors at Thornbury has been top notch. Also appreciate the local PA maple syrup, honey, soaps,and apple butter. I hope that Thornbury will offer more local products. It is so much more pleasant than going to a big, indifferent commercial chain store.
Happy Organic New Year!!!
it is undestandable that a CSA cannot always have the quantity and the variety of a big chain supermarket. Its purpose is to bring to the community first quality, organic, healthful choices. Thornbury does just that!.
Thornbury has worked hard to maintain high standards and has successfully given the community a source for great vegetables, fruit, and now fun and interesting classes. The class on making the apples preserves was very professional and we all had a great time! Yummy!
I am happy to have Thornbury Farm nearby , and proud to support it and Chester County farming. (Love the goats too!)

Looking forward to next year! Some expect to top of the mountain and will pay only for the hills. No matter what you do some people they cannot be pleased and have been remvoed from other CSA's for causing trouble. We have a good program and many happy paople that have already sent in deposits for next year. The Facts to not add up, Some pople must be having a very bad day and little extra time. We have population numbers of very Postive . we could not make this person happy, no matter what we tried. We have the written copies for all to see of how we went to try to do to please this one person. They do not understand the sprit of a CSA and will not most likely be happy with any CSA. Contact us for more inforamtion... Thank You We will show all

Randell - Finally, finally, finally you personally reply to a comment. For once you didn't send Marylisa to do your PR work for you. I challenge you to refute any FACT stated in my review. What you wrote is your opinion. The FACT is there are no turnips or salad greens, nor were there EVER. The FACT is your eggplant was the size of a tennis ball; the FACT is the 1 cantaloupe available when I picked up was completely rotten; the FACT is your carrots were 1.5 inches long (I measured them); the FACT is many of my banana peppers were rotten in the basket; the FACT is Maylisa said broccoli would be available 4 weeks ago and it still is not; the FACT is NOWHERE ON YOUR WEBSITE DO YOU DISCLOSE THAT YOU ARE A NEW CSA; the FACT is no one ever answers the phone when I call; the FACT is you haven't had the decency to answer emails with HONEST answers. ALL I ASKED FOR WAS A LITTLE HONESTY AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT WHICH YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE OR EVEN ADDRESS. I am a vegetarian and only eat organic food. I would have gladly made a donation to your farm had I known you were a startup. Instead, this FACT was never disclosed. Please read your own website, and for the sake of other potential customers be honest and disclose that you are a startup and as such you cannot produce as much as an established CSA. JUST BE OPEN AND HONEST. IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK?

I am also a member of Thornbury Farm CSA...I do not agree with this comment. I feel that I did not expect too many vegetables each week as this is the first year for this CSA. What was put out each week was far beyond expected. A friend of mine belongs to a nearby CSA that is in its 2nd year and recieved half of the produce I received each week, she has joined Thornbury for the 2010 season. I'm also not sure where this person put their vegetables for them to be rotten by the time they got home, I never had an issue with freshness. As far as customer sevice I am also very confused as to what this person was talking about. There is a large pickup window from 12 to 6, but sometimes I was just unable to get there at those times, there was always someone willing to meet me over there whenever was convenient for me to pick up. They really do make it feel like a close community and do not deserve a bad review from someone who isn't even willing to post their name...shame on you name witheld, Thornbury deserves every star they get.

This man requested his season for free, and would be fine if he got that! - The ONLY member EVER to try this. It is a shame that he started in July and missed much of the Great produce and is missing some Great crops now for our fall season. ( Cabbage, Beets, Turnips, Salad Greens Tec.) Organic Farming is a careful science and crops rotations mean that not every crop is in season every time every week. Part of a CSA is to educate the public. Our weekly emails showed and explained what crops are coming next this some useful ways to us the crops. Everything is picked that morning by our Amish farmer. They also explained the Tomatoes Blite that hit the East Coast this year. Our current membership is enjoying many classes that we offer and have told us how happy they are to send in deposits for our 2010 season. Comments like these sadden us because they are not fair and not professional or helpful in anyway but to try to hurt. We have multiple emails and other items showing how we try to work with our members. We look to our members, as a big family and we see our members at the store and local events. It is great to see and meet so many wonderful people. Thank you for your time and contact us with any questions and we can give you the details

Shouldn't allow anonymous reviews. It only hurts our local farms
