My wife and I were the very first subscribers to this CSA, and have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. We've enjoyed crisp lacinato and dinosaur kale, amazing Sungold cherry tomatoes, endless green beans, fresh herbs, mountains of salad, eggplants, zucchini, okra, maple syrup, and eggs! Each eagerly-anticipated weekly produce box came with a hand-written and illustrated letter from the farmers with news and recipes. There is no substitute for a personal relationship with the people who grow your food. We trust Flint River Farm to provide us with healthy, clean produce that was grown with a social and environmental conscience.
Fresh, local produce is not a luxury, it is a right, and a CSA subscription is an enormous savings over both a summer of storebought, stale produce, and the doctor bills you'd eventually pay from eating it. Reconnect with the food that sustains you, and support this vital local institution by purchasing a share this summer.

Being in the CSA felt like being in a "community family" - picking up our farm share each week was a chance to catch up with friends who were all committed to supporting the local food movement in Flint, just by eating great food.
I am thankful for the local jobs created by Flint River Farm, the positive transformation it brought to a block in the city, and the educational experiences the farm has provided to numerous students and community members.
My family enjoyed the CSA last year, we are happy to have secured another farm share again this summer. We we encourage other community members to do the same because you'll enjoy it and help to sustain a wonderful Flint business.
