Reviews for: Tierra Vegetables Farm

I visited their farm stand the other day, and everyone was SO nice and helpful. I was surprised by the variety of produce they had despite it being January. Leeks, carrots, potatoes of different varieties, escarole, and greens, among others. I also got some tasty hot sauce and some farm made corn meal. Yum! I'm shifting from buying produce at Trader Joes (still love em), to here, because hey it's always fresh, local, and organic. And the prices are very reasonable.

My husband and I have been Tierra Farms CSA members for many years-summer and winter. We started by picking up our weekly boxes at the farm, but when we moved to Santa Rosa we pick-up our boxes on Benton Street. We feel very fortunate to have Tierra Farms as a local resource. The vegetables and food products are super fresh, varied by season and always good. We have had the chance to try foods we would not otherwise eat or have available. The recipes and links keep things interesting. Evie, Wayne and Lee are the best! Thank you for making our life healthier, more delicious and a little more fun!

You never know what you are going to get, but it is really nice to find new surprises each time. I love the organic veges. and I think the thought into the dried tomatoes to the sour crout are really well thought out in advance.... I am a new member, (first season), and I will be long term! Thank you for all your efforts Tierra! thanks Evie, you always have a smile on, Liz Brandon

We are a family of five that have been Tierra CSA members for many years- so long that I remember using their veggies to make baby food for our 4th grader! Tierra is a community treasure, offering the farm as a local gathering spot- a chance to connect with neighbors, walk the fields, pick a flower, chew on a carrot, check out the view from the barn loft. Evie, Lee and Wayne have a way of making you feel like a part of their farming community. And, the farm creates community with their special "Pizza Pie Under the Sky" dinners and barn raising events. Want to know who grows your food, who your neighbors are, and how to sustain a community? Check out Tierra!

This is my third year with Tierra's CSA program and I still get excited every time I pick up my box. I LOVE this farm and its wonderful hardworking owners...Evie, Lee and Wayne are the best! They coax an amazing variety of food out of 17 well-farmed acres. A huge assortment of heirloom dried beans, chilis hot and mild, sweet peppers of every kind, the best carrots on the planet, asparagus, artichokes, lettuce, onions, garlic, leeks, scallions, beets, rutabagas, summer & winter squash, kale, chicory, arugula, chard, Asian greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red & green cabbage, cauliflower, eggplant, tomatoes, celery, parsnips, radishes, herbs, flowers, corn, potatoes, amazing strawberries, rhubarb to die for....and on and on and on. Not to mention all the hard to find unusual things. Cardoons, salsify, or puntarelle anyone? They also offer fresh laid eggs, wool & yarn from their Shetland sheep, dried chilis, smoked chilis, and chili jam. I'm sure I'm leaving a few things out, but the point is they offer a HUGE variety of local, seasonal produce all grown sustainably without the use of pesticides.

The (mostly) weekly CSA program is a bargain at $22 but if you can't commit to that, everything is also available for sale right there at the farmstand on Airport Blvd. Unless I inherit some farmland of my own I'll be a T.V. customer for life. I love them and can't recommend them enough!

I am in my fourth year as a very happy Tierra Farms CSA member. I joined in order to eat more organic vegetables, and a greater variety of produce. My expectations have been surpassed in every way! Since joining this CSA, my monthly food bill has actually gone down, since I now plan my meals and shopping around the CSA offerings. I have learned to love many vegetables that I hated as a child, especially beets, which are delicious when cooked properly! The cornmeal, dried chiles, and popcorn are also delicious in recipes, and I have referred many, many friends to Tierra as a result. The Tierra staff couldn't be more welcoming and knowledgeable. I love knowing the farmers behind my food. Thank you, Tierra!

Year round perfection! My husband works next door to their kitchen and after being tempted with their produce we finally joined their CSA and couldn't be happier. For the two of us, the weekly box is just a bit more than enough. We are able to freeze, can, dry and share some of the bounty. Besides being local and organic, the variety is spot on, we never feel like we are missing out on favorites. I was raised vegetarian, my parents owned a natural food store, so even the "weird" stuff in the box is "normal" to me. My adventurous husband loves trying new stuff, his current favorite is roasted parsnips, which he calls "Winter's french fries". We get to be creative in our cooking and have added new meals to our regular weekly routine. On top of that, we love going to the farm once a week. The energy, smiles, dogs, popcorn, kids and other customers combine to create a really special experience.

we especially like the fresh pop-corn , and the zillions of varieties of beans ---complete with suggestions from Evie on how to use them. Also the parsnips,---and even the large carrots are sweet, and can be eaten like candy.I think this place should be a national Treasure!

The absolutely SWEETEST, TASTIEST, BEST carrots in the entire universe!!!! Never in my life could I have imagined that a 2 lb. carrot would be good to the last sweet, tender yet crunchy bite! Even my 7-year-old veggie-phobe grandson reluctantly agrees these are acceptable even to him! The veggies from Tierra Vegetable Farm have incredible flavor and the good folks at the farm are a wonderful, hard-working and welcoming bunch. Oh, and the dried beans and cornmeal are out of this world. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoy eating all the goodies from the farm. In fact, I am on my way there right now to pick up my CSA box!

Every time we find ourselves in the neighborhood we always visit Tierra Vegetables. There is something about the land, the people, the produce, grains, jams and cooking classes that make us feel like we've come home. It's difficult to describe the sense of delight we find at Tierra other that to say it's magical. We always learn something new with every visit and leave feeling nourished and excited about what the next meal will bring. Steaming, saut�©ing, chopping, baking, seasoning and soaking, what a wonderful experience. Gratitude is what comes to mind when we think of Tierra. We are just so very grateful. As I type this review there is soup on the stove and cornmeal muffins baking in the oven. Thank you, thank you, thank you :)

Tierra Vegetables has been growing great food for decades and it shows. Chefs show up here gathering food for their kitchens. Home cooks show up for the CSA boxes. And when its strawberry season people swoon in front of the samples bin. In the winter, there's more different kinds of soup beans then there are stormy Sunday afternoons to cook them. Lee, Wayne, Evie and the whole crew are the real deal and it shows in the food they grow.

Also - the meals in the field nights are a blast! Come on in, bring your own wine pull up a chair and meet your neighbors.
