Wow wow wow this place in absolutely incredible. These people are so loving, honest and great at what they do. They are very informative, fair and hard working. They produce is fresh and truly organic. They home-make delicious specialty items. Their prices are beyond fair. I love it here and love working for them. Feels like family even after the short amount of time I have been here. I don't just recommend it, I insist you come here!

I have been a member of Cheyennes Country Thangs for over three years and really can't say enough good things about it. The variety of organic food is amazing, better than you will find in any supermarket (just check out the list on their website). You pick your own items, so you never end up with something you don't want. Quality is excellent; produce is super fresh. Best customer service!!! Very kid friendly, my three year old loves to come with me. He knows the names of all the veggies. Going to this co-op makes me feel like part of a community of really nice people who care about what they eat. Love it!

I am a new member of the co op. Every week I find an abundance of fresh organic fruit and vegetables. Along with their seafood, every meal for the upcoming week features something from the co op. So glad I found this gem. They are very friendly and helpful....

I have been a member of Cheyenne's Country Thangs Co-op for about 3 years now. They carry the freshest and largest sizes of produce around. Oh, and the best prices, too! It is all on the honor system so you get to pick out everything yourself. There is always such a big variety of items to choose from - fruits, veggies, cheeses, eggs, honey, preserves, olive oil, ice cream, Italian ices as well as herb,veggie and flowering plants. They also carry fresh made cheesecakes and other baked goodies in addition to homemade lip balm & soaps. There still must be something I've forgotten... We also look forward to the weekly free ice cream samples. The best part of all is the top notch customer service. You are treated just like family by Lisa & Darrell. They know you by name and if on a rare chance something doesn't meet your quality standards, they will gladly replace it with the same type item or something comparable with no questions asked. You just can't go wrong with Cheyenne's!

When I first move to Florida a year ago I was not familiar with the local Farmers Markets or where to get fresh local foods I happened upon a sign stating Organic Market so I went down Holly Lane and so glad I did! Cheyenness is an absolutely wonderful place to go and pick out organic local foods They can range from vegetables; fruits, meat, seafood and many more items. OH and dont forget the cheeses!! I would recommend everyone to at least to go out to Cheyennes and look around at the wonderful array of items and meet Lisa and Darryl.

We have been members at Cheyenne's for almost two years. We love the fresh, local, and organic produce, meats, seafood, dairy and eggs, honey, breads, olive oil, and the list goes on! Lisa regularly brings in new items for us to try. I love that my kids get a better idea of where our food comes from. Lisa and her helpers at Cheyenne's are always so friendly with my boys. They love the ice cream samples!

Cheyennes has a great family atmosphere, with everything you need to cook up great organic meals! Veggies and organics always look great and are plentiful. Also has medicinal plants and herbs, and occasionally has other items such as soap and household items. Desserts are also yummy! Would encourage everyone to join the co-op and pick and choose your weeks worth of items for just $20. Highly recommend!!

We have been members for almost as long as Cheyennes has been open. Lisa and Daryl are great people, you feel like family when you visit the co-op. Lisa spends many hours looking for new and better foods to give her customers. Fresh fruits, veggies, meats, ice cream, Amish goods even soaps. Lisa carries plants, herbs, trees and flowers. Lisa has done cooking and gardening classes for anyone who would like more information. If you need someone to build or set up a garden for you just check with them. Lisa and Daryl thank you for being here to get us great and safe food. Sandy and Richard

I have been a member of Cheyenne's Country Thangs co-op for over 3 years now and I don't plan on leaving as long as I live in the area. Lisa and Daryl and their family are some of the most kind people you will meet! Lisa has even taught me how to make many new foods and meals over the years. Where else can you find romanesco, all kinds of varieties of potatoes (avalanche potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, etc), and many more fresh items that you usually cannot get in a grocery store or even "natural" food store? Prices are comparable or better, and they carry organic/grass-fed meat, wild caught fish, Amish cheeses/butter, raw local honey, heirloom varieties and more! I truly enjoy picking up my food here every week and the best part is that you get to CHOOSE what you want for your co-op bag(s)...I've never seen a co-op do that before! My kids like it here as well and play in the "kids area" they have set up next to the shopping area. I am so grateful and feel privileged to shop here!

We found this place on the internet and love everything about it. We had been using an organic home delivery service,but the price for what we received was getting beyond what we wanted to spend and some of the produce was not up to par. From day one at Cheyennes we have been very happy with our choices of produce,meats,cheeses,milk,eggs,bread,pasta,sauces,honey,olive oil and so much more.It is a one stop shopping for the kind of healthy food that we choose to put into our bodies.Lisa and the gang are very helpful and if there is something that you need they will try to get it for you.

I have always looked for the best food deals and tried to eat as well as possible for the lest amount of money. Once my daughter came around that changed to eating organic as cheaply as possible. I love to shop at BJ's for much of my organic but they just don't have some truly organic items like free range eggs. After going to different places I found Cheyenne's. At first I wasn't sure I could make the stand work for me but have been so pleasantly surprised. My favorite thing is the availability of organic items that no other chain store or produce stand has. It is perfect for getting all the "others" organically on my grocery list. I also love that she will put together a great deal bag of veggies and then post a recipe to go with it to make sure you really use what you buy.

My wife and I have been customers at the coop since moving to the area a few years ago. We decided to stop when we saw the organic produce sign. We have stayed for not only great produce and other foods but also because of the family that runs the coop.

Lisa, Darrel, and Cedrick are always there and ready to help. We love that there is always something new to try from cheeses to fruits and vegetables (Tatsoi and Pummelos). If it is your first time make sure to try the Amish cheese and the Pink Lady Apples (Just make sure to save some for me).

I've been a co-op member at Cheyenne's Country Thangs for several years and would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly, informative, and welcoming atmosphere full of a great assortment of fruits, vegetables, cheeses, eggs, meats, plants, and more. I like that the selection varies from week-to-week and season-to-season. It sounds a bit corny, but showing up each week is like unwrapping a little Christmas present that sets me on my way for planning new recipes for the week ahead! I am an avid organic and health-conscious cook, educator, and consumer, and Cheyenne's continues to be an essential part of my healthy lifestyle.

Not only do I feel better about what I am feeding my family but the food tastes better than what I was buying at the grocery store! I try to support small businesses when I can and it's easy to do here! Lisa always has an easy, amazing recipe at her fingertips and my husband is finally eating the food I cook! I'm also spending a lot less money at the store every week since I get so much food with my co-op membership. I look forward to my weekly shopping trip at Cheyanne's and highly recommend it!

Took the plunge and now really look forward to my weekly trips to Cheyenne's. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and positive. I like the variety as well as some consistency...like my organic apples and pears. Cheyenne's recipes have been a real eye-opener. Who knew kale in soup could taste that good?!! I've always wanted to buy grass-fed beef and organic chicken but it was always too hard to find. It will seem a bit pricey at first but as Cheyenne pointed out...if you're eating a healthier 4oz portion, the meat goes a longer way. My family loves the uncured bacon and Amish cheeses.

I am a co-op member, and I look forward to my pick up every week. Lisa is so passionate about what she does and very knowledgeable! Daryl is helpful and kind. These are good people with an excellent, fresh, variety of produce, meats, breads....you just never know. But you can count on not being disappointed.

I recently joined the co-op and I am so glad I did. Lisa and her family are such a joy to be around. She ensures everyone feels welcome and will answer any question you may have. I enjoy picking the items from a plentiful selection instead of being handed a bag of items. All the fruits and vegetables are so fresh sometimes they don't even make it home.

I have been going here for over a year. I love it because I know my two young kids are eating fresh and organic fruits and veggies. It also gives me the opportunity to try new things that you can't find in grocery stores. Their selection is great and my kids love coming with to help me pick out our produce. They also love their free samples. I look forward to it weekly.

Hello Local Harvest your rating is incorrect on this review. As you can see by what our customer said and the 3 stars that it is incorrect. Carla did comment to correct this issue. She said she gave us excellent on everything (5stars) and your posting says 3 stars. Just wanted viewing audience to know that we are very proud of our 5 star rating and will do everything in our power to make sure our customers like us that much. We appreciate our customers!!!!

Cheyenne's is a real jewel. One would be hard pressed to find any better selection of organic foods in a health food store! The fruits and veges are so fresh, and they last longer because of this. They have so much to choose from, top quality organic grassfed meats, free range eggs, amish cheeses, local honey, and so much more. I just love going there even though it is a drive for me, it is worth the trip. Daryl and Lisa really go out of their way to make sure their members are happy and get a good deal.

Can't beat the price and always feel welcomed!!! What attracted me to this co-op and has kept me coming back every week for at least a year now is that there is always a wide variety to choose from. I love getting to choose instead of getting a set selection of produce that I have no input in. The produce is amazing, can't get enough of the Amish cheeses, and have become a recent addict of the soup bags!!

Thank you Cheyennes Country Thangs.....

Going to this co-op is liking coming home, Lisa and Daryl are the nicest and most helpful couple I have come across in a long time. They are very particular about the produce that they bring in for their members. Lisa is always coming up with new receipies for us to try, we even get to taste some of her treats. Not only do we get great organic produce but you can buy plants too. So come on over and see what your missing. Love you guys, the Whites.

Lisa and her family are proibably the most giving and kindest people you will ever meet. They make such a point of meeting the needs of their clients/friends really. We not only find delicious fruits & vegetables, but learn new ways of cooking them, or using them in their raw state. Other items are also available: organic eggs, meat, cheese, jellies, etc. It is just plain fun and uplifting to go for a visit and come home with yummy food....and I don't even have to become a farmer....unless I want to. And then, Lisa and family will show me how to do that, as well. Great people...great place.

I look forward to picking up my co-op and Lisa and her family's welcoming smile every week! The produce is so fresh many times I eat it in the car on the way home. I especially love the soup bag's Lisa creates. I even had Lisa plant a Garden in my backyard! She is a wealth of knowledge and I enjoy picking her mind weekly about cooking and gardening. She also has the best organic meats butter and cheese. I highly recommend this Tampa treasure!

No where else have I found more quality produce, friendly service, and enjoyable atmosphere than at Cheyenne's County Thangs. Lisa always has a wonderful selection of produce available every week, and offers the opportunity to pick and choose what customers want as their co-op produce. I give her market six stars!

Cheyennes Country Thangs to me is a great place for fresh, top of the line produce as well as a wonderful variety of carefully selected fruits and amish cheeses, as well as an extensive variety of organic meats, raw honey and much much more. Each week there's always something new available to add to your meals.It's also a great place for kids as she provides themed activities for the holidays as well as a place for children to play while the parents shop although the kids really enjoy picking out their favorite fruits and snacks. I've had the opportunity to see how the owner Lisa Hunt, inspects all the produce to make sure she's giving her Co-Op as well as all her customers the very best. Whether you're a vegan or simply enjoy the quality taste of all things organic, I would highly recommend Cheyennes Country Thangs!

My friends brought me to Cheyennes County Thangs and I enjoyed just touring through all the garden delights. I was reluctant to join because I had done a "farm share" before and felt overwhelmed with all the vegetables and produce that were hard for me to use. Many items ended up rotting in my fridge.

However, Cheyennes Country Thangs is different. Everything is so well organized and as a member, I get to choose which fruit or produce will fit my families needs each week. I have no produce waste and am enjoying the huge array of items offered.

I would recommend Cheyennes to everyone who would like to eat greener, consume organic and enjoy themselves while doing so!

I started out as just a part time customer - always found the selection to be wonderful. I have been a co-op member for 6 weeks now. The produce is top of the line and always fresh, fresh, fresh! You pay your monthly fee and show up each week to choose the produce that YOU want for yourself - not like the "You get what you get and don't throw a fit" co-op from before. Not only is there a great selection of wonderful, organic produce - there are nice selections of organic seeds, plants, cheeses, butter, jams, organic meats, etc... Each week there is always a nice surprise/choice (if you'd like to purchase) of some home made yummy treat - from sandwiches, cookies, cakes, etc. As if that weren't enough... you would be very hard pressed to find a friendlier and caring atmosphere and staff. Every time you step in to select your produce - you will be greeted with a smile and a genuine interest in how things are going for you. You cannot go wrong at Cheyenne's Country Thangs!

I love that I can actually pick my produce on a co-op. Regardless of whether you choose the co-op or just stop in on a Saturday, Cheyenne's always has a great selection of both common and lesser known produce. Lisa, the owner, is always there to offer cooking suggestions for any produce that you're unfamiliar with. She also offers up delicious home cooked items such as salsa, soups and, my favorite, the collard sandwich.

I joined the co-op a few months ago, and since then, my trips there are my favorite part of the week! Lisa is very knowledgeable about the products she sells and can provide recipes and ideas for anything that is unfamiliar (micro-greens, sunchokes). The produce is beautiful, fresh and delicious and has inspired me to try new recipes. It's always a fun adventure to go there and really fun to come home with a bag or two filled with delicious produce! Love it!

We joined the Co-op a few months back and love it! There is always a lot of variety and everything is fresh and clean. Each week there are different samples to try (with recipes) and nice freebies as well.

My 7 year old daughter and I also participated in the organic gardening class and have our own organic garden started at home. The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is great. We highly recommend Cheyenne's.

This is my first co-op but I am extremely impressed! I signed up for the co-op on my first visit after having seen how great the selection was. A couple of times I've been reluctant to grab a new veggie but everyone there is super for recipe ideas. Because of their suggestions I've tried several new things that I never would have attempted before. I LOVE this co-op and plan to continue with it for a long time to come!

I have tried other co ops in an effort to get organic produce affordably, but have not been happy with the selection or how fresh it was. I love Cheyenne's because I get to individually pick each item instead of getting a random basket. Everything is very fresh!! She (Lisa) always throws in extras and feeds my whole family when we visit, and I LOVE the variety. Well worth the trip.

This is my second month with this co-op and I love everything about it! The price is right, the quality and diversity in selection are the best! The family is friendly and offers excellent service. You are made to feel very comfortable. There are always samplings of different foods and recipes as well as freebies! Today this family went above and beyond by assisting my family when our car broke down. As we were waiting for a tow truck they offered water, gave my children ice pops and cantaloupe and offered us kind words of encouragement. Lisa was also aware of the hardship we are currently in and sent us home with extra produce and even generously gave my family organic meat, butter, and cheese. To say we were overwhelmed by her generosity is an understatement. It is obvious to us Lisa is filled with the love of God.

I just joined the co-op a few weeks ago. Everything is so fresh and delicious. I am so impressed how well everything holds up after I bring it home. It all stays fresh for at least a week. it is a very friendly place. I wish I had gone there sooner. It gives me great peace of mind to know I am getting local, organic produce. I am also pleased to hear that they help out Metropolitan Ministries. This has been a wonderful experience! I also love to be supporting local farmers.

I just discovered Cheyenne's two weeks ago and am so delighted that I did! The best produce that I have seen since moving to Florida three months ago and the best eggs I have ever tasted. Wide variety of organic and grass-fed meats, eggs, and dairy, delicious homemade salsa, herbs, honey, fruits and vegetables you won't find anywhere else (purple potatoes anyone?), and always an extra treat for co-op members.

We joined Cheyenne's Country Thangs co-op back in May & absolutely love it! My sister belongs to several co-ops up north & was shocked to learn that we got to pick whatever vegetables/fruit we wanted. I love the variety that we get. We even have the option to select pre-made bags complete with recipes to help with meal planning. The food is always so fresh, it easily lasts a week to two weeks. They also have great selections of dressings/vinagrette's etc. Its great & I love knowing where our food comes from. My 2 year old loves trees (broccoli) & fruit is her "candy". I credit some of that to the delicous items at Cheyenne's Country Thangs.

Sequestered in a quiet wooded corner of Lutz rests a real jewel for those that can't live without their organic foods. Cheyenne's Country Thangs is a farmer's market unlike any other. The produce is fresh, inexpensive, unpretentiously presented, and bountiful. They even sell potted herbs, plants, steaks, chicken, cheeses, and other food stuffs galore. If you bring your own reusable bag, you get a bonus piece of fruit (score!). But what really makes this place special are the people that work there. Lisa, the lady in charge, is an incredibly bubbly down home mama, that dolls out treats like delicious home made ice cream to people as they walk in the door. Kids run around, helping to keep the operation running smoothly. One really gets a sense that those putting on this little operation are doing it for love. There's a lot of heart in this place. It's little places like this that help define a community. It's little places like this that are invaluable. I wish there were more little places like this one, but I doubt that any other would match it's spirit.

Lisa & Darrell are there working hard every weekend to bring certified organic food to members and the public. We enjoy going every week and they have really helped fill in the gaps for us, being members of other co-ops Nov-May. We were happy to find them this year and they have so much to offer. Lisa is always enthusiastic,sharing recipes, and very well rounded in terms of their variety. I love that they have cheese, and the meat eaters will appreciate their grass fed products. If you're looking to get an herb or pepper plant started, they can help you out as well. I'll be taking Lisa's gardening class at the end of the month AND taking them up on their "garden service" where they will come to our house this fall and help us set up our first raised bed vegetable garden. Not only lots to source from Cheyennes, but lots to learn too!

What a great Co-Op to find. The owners are some of the nicest people you will meet and will answer any questions you have. Before joining I had the idea that more money would be spent but just the opposite. My food bill has gone down since joining because I eat ALL of the fruits and veggies I get at the Co-Op. You will not be disappointed.

I have NEVER gotten excited over a CO-OP like this one. All fresh, natural, and organic produce that is beautiful as well as delicious. I like the options to pick your own choices. All the meats and medleys and spices are wonderful, also, each week. Lisa's desserts are just spetacular and I look forward to them each week as well as her recipes. Lisa and Darell just go out of their way to satisfy you and their customer service -- all I can say is - you will NEVER find better! This is definitely a 5 - star rating!!!

What a great new experience my family and I are having coming out to Lisa's Country Thangs each week. I really look forward to seeing what produce is available and if Lisa has baked one of those marvelous cobblers with the special white topping. I cannot figure out how she makes it but it sends me over the moon. My husband had a fit over the collard greens I fixed last week and the pickled red beets I fixed(Lisa's recipe)..Thanks to Lisa and Daryll for the new knowledge, enthusiasm, eats and fun. Sally Tyler

Excellent quality, selection and especially service!! I have been a member of numerous co-ops in the past, but none compare. I love the focus on local products, and the freedom I have to choose what produce I take home each week. I also appreciate the opportunity to get "staple" items that may not be in season locally.

Yes, the spelling of 'Thangs' is somewhat a peeve, but her produce selection, her friendliness, and her complimentary samples every Friday have the kids and I watching the clock until our co-op time arrives. Thank you, Lisa, for such a wide variety of produce, and for saving us time and money as we feed our family healthfully.

Our daughters gave us 2 months of Coop for Christmas. What a great gift. It truly can last forever. The food is wonderful but the side benefits are even better. Lisa's enthusiasm makes you want to try new foods and new cooking methods. I am actually enjoying cooking and eating greens. Her gardening classes are fun, informative and practical. The grounds of the market have living examples of plants which can survive in Florida. The variety of food is comparable to a supermarket. Lisa and Darryl are willing to share all of their growing tips. I feel like I have joined a family. They are an awesome couple with a huge passion for organic farming and a love for healthy, tasty food and people.

Today was my family's fist visit to CCT. We had been planning to check this place out for awhile. Lisa and her family were very hospitable. It is evident that her and her staff are passionate about her mission and it shows in their excitement to serve. We came almost at the close of business and depsite the heat and it being the end of their day they did not short us on the energy nor the enthusiasm. Lisa is super knowledgeable and I could sense her commitment to make sure that everyone in the CSA and the general public who patronizes CCT, would get nothing less than what she would serve on her own family's dinner table. We had the sheer pleasure of indulging in a complimentary fruit tasting, which also included homemade pear sauce and beet relish. We nibbled on organic lamb . YUM, especially since we have eliminated meat and poultry from our diet. We left with a bag of treats so glad to have found some place nearby and looking forward to returning. It honestly felt like being over at a friend's house who had our very best interest at heart.

Lisa and family from my family to yours, keep up the great work! You all are doing an awesome job!

We have been coming to Cheyennes Country Thangs for a year!! It is the VERY BEST when it comes to fresh organic friuts and vegetables!!! They also have the best local raw honey from Dade City!! I can hardly wait to go every Friday(Friday coop members shop from 1:30- 3:15) for the amazing selection of produce, with prices better than anywhere not to mention the freshest looking too! Lisa and her whole family are GREAT! I have learned so much knowledge from their family especially in the area of growing and cooking with fruits, vegetables and having the most beautiful and healthy flowers and plants too!! Lisa also offers some fantastic classes in the spring and fall which are wonderful. Come out and visit this one of a kind farmers market and or become a coop member....you will love it!! Open every Saturday to the public 10-4.

Coop member...Terri & Greg D.

My wife and I have been Co-Op members for a while and we love it. Lisa and Darryl always take great care to make you feel welcome.

Keep in mind you dont have to be Co-Op members to enjoy Cheyennes. My freinds came with me last week and just grabbed a few items and loved it.

The produce is superb. My wife and I love the fact that we can get all of the staples as well as fun exotic varieties to try. My wife is addicted to the purple and Yukon potatoes. Everything we get is as fresh as I have ever seen unless I am pulling it out of my garden. When I get a bag of organic spinach from the supermarket I know I will lose some of the spinach because it is old. When I get the spinach from Cheyennes I know I will be able to use it all. Also my wife have priced what we get from the Cheyennes at Publix to see how the pricing compared. There was no contest Cheyennes was consistently a better value. It was between one half and a third less.

They also have great pre made products. You have not had boiled peanuts until you try Lisa's recipe they are addicting.

We have been going to Cheyennes for a few months and always feel welcomed by all the workers. They are inviting and accommodating to the needs and requests made. I've worked in corporate America for years and I know customer service. Their customer service is superb! It is a place I want to continue to go to though it is not close to our home. Thank you and keep up the great work. God bless you for your work!

I have been coming to Cheyennes Country Thangs for quite awhile now. I first read about this co-op in the Laker so I thought I would stop by to see what it was about. I was hooked at the first meeting with Lisa and Darryl. They are what a business is all about, helpful, carring, and genuine. I have not had any bad produce from here and as others have stated I would not have tried some of the items if I saw them in a store. But Lisa gives you receipes on different items and answers questions regarding the produce. Lisa even runs classes on setting up a garden, how to take care of plants. Sure she has to go out of state to have produce brought in we don't grow apples in Fl. Lisa and Darryl, Thank you for bringing healthy food to us. Your homemade icecream was fantastic.

Myself, my daughter, my friend and her daughter always look forward to making our weekly trek to Cheyenne's for our co-op. This organic co-op has been such a wonderful experience for us all. My daughter loves to go and pick out fresh produce and look at all the flowers and plants. I love the variety and unique items that Lisa carries. Many of the things I have bought, I have never seen in a supermarket. I have bought things such as purple potatoes, Japanese sweet potatoes, rainbow carrots and many other things that we have grown to love but would have never been able to try them had it not been for Lisa obtaining them for the co-op. I am an avid cook and I love to experiment with the various organic vegetables, etc that she has offered at the co-op. I was diagnosed with MS over a year ago and have chosen to go a healthier lifestyle and diet to help treat my dis-ease. Thanks to Cheyenne's Country Thangs, I have been able to feed my family well and keep them healthy with all natural organic items. I also love the fact that they help educate us about the plants and flowers they carry and how to care for them. Their compost tea is awesome! I cannot say enough good things about this market.

We found Cheyennes Country Thangs about 6 months ago and it has been a great experience. The vegetables and the beef are awesome. You can tell by the taste that it is different than the stuff at the grocery store.

After I mentioned that I have a friend dying with a brain tumor, they offered to help. Lisa and Darryl are awesome people. They do business like the old days. They care. They are honest and they give you more than you expect on each visit.

Lisa always has a sample of something for you to try or is giving you something to eat. She is a walking wealth of knowledge. You can't go wrong checking out this market!

Overt he years I have belonged to a few co-ops with varying degree of satisfaction. I can say without any reservation at all that Cheyenne's is the best by far. The selection and quality is superior to most retail organic markets. Selection like you'll find here is a rarity with a co-op. Then there are the homemade take home selections that are out of this world. I have even made a request for an item and it was fulfilled...unheard of! This co-op is also run on the honor system. Once the method of selection is explained to you then you fill your basket or bag and no one questions you...ever. I appreciate this as it reminds me of an era gone by. I am so happy to have found this goldmine,otherwise known as Cheyenne's County Thangs co-op. Thank you Lisa for all the time and hard work you put in to this...it's a labor of love and it shows.

I love going to the market every Friday with kids, I feel lucky to be part of this co-op. Lisa and her husband are so helpful and honest; they will answer any question you have. Being part of the co-op has wonderful benefits; you truly to get more than you pay for, as well as yummy samples of treats and fruit. When you bring your own bag you get a free piece of fruit. Their fruits and vegetables are always great. I love how she puts together bags of medley with recipes!

My kids love going because the atmosphere is so warm and friendly. I feel good about supporting small local business. I love that Cheyenne's Country Thangs support hospice and the needy. A wonderful family business.

I have been a member of Cheyenne's Co-op for several months. I originally found this Co-Op by browsing Local Harvest. I was looking for a small, local business to support as opposed to buying into the chains. (NEWS: Supporting local business strengthens our economy!) I was also looking for a place to buy fresh, organic, in-season produce for my family. And ideally, I was also looking for a place with the same convictions as me in terms of giving back to the community and those in need.

I found the best of all these things at Cheyenne's, with the added bonus that a trip to her market is like a step away from the hustle of the world and into a better time where the people are neighborly and the food is delicious. I look forward to my weekly trip there, as do my two little girls, 4 and 6, who are now eager to try all sorts of new fruits and veggies due to our excursions to the market. (Did you every imagine kids would eat raw purple okra like french fries!?)

Lisa and her husband put their whole heart into this business. They make everyone feel welcome, give generously, and do their best to offer a wide variety of organic produce through local suppliers and others. Every week Lisa has surprises in store for customers, and shopping there is fun.

If I may make a few suggestions - The best cantaloupe I have EVER EATEN came from Cheyenne's a month ago. Since she shops seasonally, I like to ask her what her best picks are for the week. Her recommendations never fail to be delicious. I would recommend you try her milk, which she has on occasion, and her eggs, which she has every week. Also check out her medley bags which contain a variety of fruits and/or veggies, and have a recipe on the bag for how to use them. The medleys are the best! But they sell out of medleys quickly so get there early!

Since joining, I have brought my friends, family, and neighbors to Cheyenne's and they have all ended up joining the co-op. This is a special place and I would recommend it to anyone who values their health, community, and local economy.

Not great, but not bad either. There isn't much that can be grown locally during the summer in Florida. (Cons) - Cheyennes suffers from bad PR in that they don't admit that. Almost every single piece of produce there right now (July) is not local. Also, we've purchased plants that we later realized had non organic fertilizer pellets in them and when we traced the plant back to the farm from which she obtained it I found out it wasn't organic. She sells organic grain-fed beef, not grass-fed beef, for 2$ more than retail and it comes from over a thousand miles away. I don't think she has vetted her suppliers well. Also, I've purchased some produce from there that has gone bad almost immediately, probably b/c it was old to begin with.

(Pros) - Cheyenne (owner) is very sweet and helpful. They also have some really good deals on particular items from time to time. They do give out some delicious free samples. With all of the cons I mentioned before, this place is better than most out there. It's definitely better than getting your produce from any of the local grocery stores.

I hope I didn't make too many waves w/ my reviews, but if Cheyennes addresses some issues this place could be really great.

This is Lisa from Cheyennes Country Thangs and the review that was posted is untrue and very hurtful. We have letters posted at our market that gives information on the farms and where every product comes from and how it was produced. We have a very large co-op and we on a continual basis ask each co-op member if they are happy with their produce and they say yes!!. We have been in business for almost 2 years and we have the majority of co-op members that we started with. The co-op members that are no longer with us come on Saturday and shop so that also tells us that we MUST be doing a good job. If we were trying to hide the the information on our plants wouldn't we take off the stickers??? We have never said that our herbs where organic for $3.00 for a 5 inch pot just that when you plant them don't spray pesticides on them. We try 200% to make sure that our produce is fresh so if a customer gets something bad it's not because we can see it on the outside, so it must have been bad on the inside and they have not let us know about it. In 2 years we have had 3 complaints on veggies; 1 strawberry box, we can't open every box to check every strawberry. 1 garlic bulb??, Banana's that looked great on the outside but customer said was soft on inside?? Replaced all plus some for these customers. We get as much as we can local and until 2 weeks ago carried majority local. Now we purchase from many organic farms and we get produce as fast as we can. Not sure why customer wrote these bad things but we are so happy that our co-op members love our produce and it shows because our co-op grows each week by word of mouth from other co-op members. Our meats along with everything esle we have, letters are posted all about them. Unhappy customer we are so sorry that you couldn't discuss these issues with us before you decide to say these very hurtful and unjustified comments. PS the produce that we give to the needy and Metropolitan ministries and hospice patients each week must be great also because we continually get letters from them. Lisa

My wife and I visited Cheyennes Country Thangs for the first time on the second Saturday of February.

It was wet and windy and they had a garage setup as the pickup point.

We are new to this kind of shopping and were interested because we have concerns with what exactly is in our food we don't know about. We have made a conscious decision to try to know more about how our food is grown and processed.

We had lots of questions and Lisa and her Husband were more than willing to answer. They nearly fed us lunch with all of the samples of delicious organic products and home made salsa and beets etc.

Overall it was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back.
