Reviews for: Pahl's Market

I thought I would try a csa again, it has been many years. I only got a partial since it?s just the two of us. With week 11, we again got yet another bag of green beans, ONE tomato, 7 peppers, 2 types. Cucumbers coming out of my ass. My boxes have consisted of 1 or 2 of something than two much of other types. Perhaps this is normal, I don?t t know but we will not repeat again.

This is the 3rd year my family has been in the Pahl's CSA program. It's the only CSA we've been part of so there isn't too much to compare it to, but I'm always happy with what I get. Almost always fresher than I could find at the store and there's a lot of variety. They also give out some good recipes to use the veggies which helps me since I can never come up with dinner ideas. No complaints throughout my time with them.

If you are looking to purchase a CSA membership look elsewhere. Pahl's promises food that is locally grown, but according to Gary Pahl who I had a very unpleasant phone conversation with last year when they don't grow enough he buys out of state produce from a wholesaler. Every single eggplant I received last year had sticker remnants on it and was less fresh than what I could purchase at my local cub foods. You will get so much rotten food that you may start wondering if they should be paying you for use of your dumpster. After months of this I finally contacted Pahl's where I had the conversation with Mr. Pahl. He swore at me, belittled me and finally just to get off the phone I asked for a pro rated refund of the remaining CSA baskets. That only covered the baskets I did not pick up, not the spoiled food I'd been receiving for months or the "store credit" I received for ordering early in the season.
