Reviews for: Chimney Creek Farm

We are thrilled with our weekly CSA full share, premium add-ons, and eggs delivered to our door by Farmer Deane. The produce is so fresh and delicious. It tastes so much better than store bought produce. We love supporting our local farmers and eating seasonal veggies. The weekly informative e-mails with recipes are so helpful too. The delivery option initially drew me to Chimney Creek Farm, but knowing how good the food is and how nice the farmers are, we wouldn't look elsewhere.

This was our household's first experience with a CSA and we couldn't be happier. The variety and quality of the produce we receive from them is always outstanding and we love the option to get farm fresh eggs (I swear they make everything you cook with them taste 1,000 times better!)

Wonderful CSA experience. My husband and I have crazy schedules, so finding a CSA that offers home delivery was a must. At only $5 per week for delivery charge, it?s a great deal. And Farmer Deane himself delivers the produce! So fun to meet the person who grows your food. The produce is always so fresh and yummy. Love the Pinterest board and Facebook group to learn about how to use my veggies. Clearly they take pride in doing an excellent job!

I?ve tried a couple CSAs over the years. This is by far my favorite. I can easily fit the pickup into my schedule. The communications are the very best and even include suggestions for use. I would definitely recommend the premium package so you can get delicious strawberries and other treats. Thanks Chimney Creek Farm!

This is my first CSA. I knew with our current situation that the farmers would need my help to support them-because who knew if the markets would be able to open?! So I did some research and I found Chimney Creek that was close to home. I checked them out on social media and felt it was a good fit with the options available. I?m so glad I did this! They take so much pride and care into their farm. Every pick up we are told what will be in our boxes and also recipes and tips. I plan on joining again in the Fall.

This farm is full of love! You can tell by their well composed communication, their beautiful presentation of the veggies, and their careful consideration of their CSA members safety. Thank you for putting your all into what you love.

I have participated in 4 different CSAs over the years and this one is by far the best. Gorgeous produce, recommend the premium for the extra goodies. Love that they post recipes on Pinterest and have a FB group for members. Will definitely be signing up for next year.

I stumbled upon CSA?s while looking for ways to support the local economy. We found the Chimney Creek website warm, inviting and informative- we were sold! Farmer Dean and his wife are wonderful to work with. The produce is top notch and always fresh. I wouldn?t hesitate recommending Chimney Creek Farm to anyone!

This is my first CSA experience & I am so happy!! The produce is beautiful with a great variety and the tips on how to store & the recipes are especially helpful for a newbie like me. Thursday is my favorite day of the week now!

I am new to the CSA program and this farm, but I am very pleased to be a part of this program and love working with Chimney Creek Farm!

I love the variety of fresh things I get each time, especially the new vegetables that I had not previously tried (radish greens, garlic scapes!) Produce is fresh, clean, and delicious!

I look forward to going to the farm on my pickup day! Pickup is always pleasant and easy. Will definitely re-up next year!

My first year in this CSA and I couldn?t be happier! I get a half box, premium share and non gmo eggs. Everything is so delicious and fresh! Love that wonderful recipes are included for the items that are new to me(as well as new recipes for familiar items). There is always a wonderful variety of items included in each share and often items are thoughtfully combined to make certain dishes/recipes. I have a very small garden of my own or I would definitely consider a full share next year.

I look forward every week to my visit from Farmer Dean! I was given the full share plus the premium share with delivery from my family as a birthday present last May. I have really enjoyed the fresh produce delivered with a smile each week this past summer from Farmer Dean. I've enjoyed it so much I have signed up for the Winter share!! I've discovered vegetables that I have been afraid to purchase at the store and discovered how terrifically tasty they are. Thank goodness Chimney Creek Farms provides a wonderful Pintrest page to show how to prepare and enjoy the wonderful goodness from thier gardens!! I highly reccomend Chimney Creek Farms and the healthy produce and great service they provide!!

I was so glad I called Deane and Linda! They were so kind to allow us over to see the farm right after I called and welcomed us in. They have great veggies, eggs and recipes, and we love the add ons! I never had heard of a CSA until Grand Rapids magazine had an article about it, and I am so blessed we tried it.

This was my first year ever doing a CSA. I looked forward every week to getting new foods to try on my family. We had a few that weren't our favorite, but it was fun trying. We had a lot of new foods that are now a staple in our kitchen. The pickup was super easy, and I loved how I was greeted with smile every time. I also enjoyed your sample dips and foods we could try when we picked up foods. The food was clean, and well taken care of. It was also packed very nice and I felt we had a decent amount of food to take home each week. We also did the premium share. It consisted of a lot of seasonal fruits, honey, jam and wonderful items. THere were some weeks my 4 kids ate the berries gone before we got home! I loved pickup, and the option to pick through the table of extra food if you could use more of the surplus items that came from the garden! I would highly recommend checking out Chimney Creek farm!

My husband and I just started this year, our first CSA experience, with Chimney Creek Farms. Farmer Dean has been wonderful delivering our goodies to our front porch and after meeting him for the first time he is very kind and really loves what he is doing.

The vegetables we get are a mixture of things we normally use and items we have never seen before so we are very grateful for the book they gave us as part of our "first year" experience called "A Guide to Cooking Farm-Fresh Seasonal Produce". We are currently doing the "every other week" delivery which gives us time to learn about what we are getting and gives us a little extra time to learn how to prepare and really enjoy our treats.

I am looking forward to the rest of what this year brings and I'm super stoked about the premium share add on's we get. The sweet cherries and blueberries this week had added lots of flavor to our high grain (no oil, no dairy) bread we eat and to our delicious oat meal!

Happy Farm Fresh Eating

Last year was the first time my husband and I had joined a CSA. Chimney Creek was recommended to us by a co-worker and we signed up for a half-share, not really knowing what to expect. As it turned out, CSA pickup day was often the highlight of my week. I loved getting the email previews on what to expect in that week's share, and we always came home with a couple of bags full of fresh, delicious produce. Deane, Linda and Tory are all amazing and make it such a fun experience to pick up at the farm -- often with the extra bonus of scrumptious recipe ideas, good conversation and sometimes even samples from the kitchen. We did the half premium share add-on, as well, and enjoyed the extra goodies. Between the half share & my own small garden, we had more than enough produce for our 2-person household. The only times I bought extra produce were maybe an onion here or there or something (like avocados) that doesn't grow in this climate. Can't wait until the CSA starts up again this year!

I moved to the area mid-season and got started with my half share. The produce has been astounding. I pick up at the farm and it's always a lovely, social experience. I sat there with my six month old for over an hour this week, had a drink, ate some melon, and then went home with what I would consider a tremendous amount of food for a half share. I highly recommend a CSA through Chimney Creek.

This was my first year with farm share and did I pick a winner!! Deane and Linda make you feel like family! If you get a vegetable that you have no idea what to do with, they will have ideas, recipes and explain everything about it. My son and I love them and we will definitely be signing up again!

We've just signed up for our third year with Chimney Creek and couldn't be more pleased. Deane and Linda have a gift for sharing their passion and love for healthy living--and their veggies, eggs, and wood lot pork couldn't be more delicious. I've learned how to cook vegetables I'd never dream of buying (parsnips! kohlrabi!) and have loved stretching our food horizons a bit. You won't want to miss the June open house where you can walk the fields with Deane as he talks about his crops and plans for the year. Linda and Tory share homemade treats and recipes, too. Once the season gets rolling, I can't wait for the Facebook posts on share day when Deane posts photos of what's coming. It's fresh, it's clean, it's healthy--what's not to love? You won't be disappointed with Chimney Creek CSA!

This year was our first year being a part of a CSA and I'm so glad we picked Chimney Creek Farm!! The Brengle's are such a great, loving family! They really make you feel apart of their family! Will definitely be going with Chimney Creek again next year and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us!

This is our 2nd year with Chimney Creek Farm. We have learned so much from Farmer Deane and Linda about foods. Since starting our share with them last year, we have been on a lifestyle change. All of our eating habits have changed and we are truly becoming healthier. We feel better and food tastes so much better than I ever knew. Farmer Deane is truly full of knowledge about his products and his farm. I feel good knowing that we are getting such good product. The recipes that Linda shares each time we receive our share is also truly appreciated as well as all the other healthy recipes she tracks down and shares with me as soon as she suspects that I am looking for something special and healthy. Thanks to Chimney Creek Farm, I feel that our family is truly on the path to healthy eating!! Thank you Farmer Deane, Linda, and Chimney Creek Farm..

We are new members to Chimney Creek Farm and new to a CSA. CCF came highly recommended from our relatives who enjoyed the produce last year. We have been advocates of farmer's markets, non GMO items, and organic standards for years.

We love Chimney Creek. Not only because the produce is fresh and fabulous but also because the owners are warm and friendly, even providing recipes with our shares and a free cookbook. We are eating more vegetables, trying new recipes and enjoying a healthier more relaxed lifestyle.

Chimney Creek has provide the incentive we have needed to fill our plates with fresh veggies and eggs. We feel more in touch with our environment, our health and our community.

Thank you Chimney Creek! SJ McFarland

This is my first time being a member of a CSA but we've always grown a lot of our own veggies & herbs and shopped farmer's markets. With our full share we get just enough eggs, and veggies for me, my husband and three kids. We still have an herb garden and buy things like celery, onion, and carrots weekly. We love this CSA and will be sure to keep it up every summer.

We took the plunge and bought a Chimney Creek CSA share--and couldn't be happier. I've always been a farmers market shopper but this has forced us out of our comfort zone. Deane and Linda are eager to share their love of the farm--they hold a fun and informative spring open house--and share some great recipes. We are happy to support this small farm :) I don't think anyone would be disappointed.

loved having our fresh homegrown veggies. we ate many items that we never new existed like tomillos but enjoyed the huge verity. We got half share for the three of us it was plenty. will do again. all the goodness without all the work!

Chimney Creek Farm is a great family farm with wonderful produce! The pick ups are like old friend gatherings ~ the family is so warm and inviting we have felt comfortable and welcome from day one. We love the extras ~ the sunflowers and fall flowers are a great treat! There's a wide range of seasonal vegetables and great helpful recipes each week to help us get the most out of our bounty! High recommend Chimney Creek Farm and can not wait to sign up again next year!!

We purchased a vegetable CSA from Chimney Creek last year, much to our satisfaction. As avid organic gardeners, we were presented with an opportunity to house sit for friends embarked on a year long mission trip. This forced us into the unfortunate position of being too far away to maintain our personal garden well. Our solution? Chimney Creek Farm! Deane and Linda follow the same natural growing methods, use similar seed stock and varieties and provide an excellent quality product! We were not only pleased with the quality of produce, but we're astounded by the variety! Much to our enjoyment, we found ourselves eating and trying vegetables we had never even considered! I heartily recommend Chimney Creek Farms as an excellent naturally grown vegetable CSA!

Dean & Linda are wonderful, down to earth people who have a passion for what they do. They are very knowledgeable and are dedicated to growing things naturally without the use of chemicals. I highly recommend them! :)
