Reviews for: Greensleeves Farm LLC

I'm giving this two stars because I understand Gretchen Vaughn has moved to Wisconsin, selling the farm to someone else. I hope the new owners do better.

Just after Gretchen bought the current Greensleeves Farm, I purchased a full share for $500 and put in the work. We received virtually nothing in our weekly share and work. We do know that regularly the farm sold its best produce at farmer's markets.

Later, after we bailed on the CSA, we received a letter from Gretchen stating that she thought we all understood it was a "startup" and that the share we bought was an "investment." I do know the difference between an investment in a startup and a share in a CSA. One owns no equity upon paying for a share in a CSA--only the owner owns equity.

To be honest, I felt ripped off, used, and soured on the CSA experience. My $500 helped pay for the equity Gretchen sold the new owners.

I have been involved with the Greensleeves CSA for several years and love seeing and trying so many varieties of heirloom produce; so much more than we see in stores. I've learned so much that is beneficial for the production of my own garden and property. Gretchen Vaughn is constantly improving the farm and networking and building a community of diverse, yet like-minded folks. I work an avg of 2-3 hours a week, in such a peaceful environment. I'm excited every week to see what is in my share! Good food that is good for you.

I have been a part of this CSA for two years now and there has always been amazing variety in the produce and a great community. It's a great place to learn about growing food, how to prepare it, and to meet new people. I highly recommend it to anyone that would like to truly understand where and how their food is grown.
