I Do not recommend! I was led to believe that all the products supplied were
Organic and chemical free. This is not so. Commercially grown and pesticide laden product
Was commingled. We ordered what we thought was organic and found out that it was
Commercially grown and not organic. When this was
Brought to the attention of the market manager/ owner he said not all produce listed was organic. What!
You will find "commercially grown" in some description. Found out this means with chemicals and pesticides. False advertising, very disappointing.

We are proud to provide our community with the cleanest, locally- grown, produce available. Our first priority/preference is, of course, locally grown, organic produce. Unfortunately, it is not always available. Over the years, our customers have let us know that there is a demand for items that are unavailable in the organic, naturally grown produce line. This demand comes from two sources: 1) customers that cannot travel far and 2) those that cannot leave their home and therefore use our delivery service. We make every effort to ensure all products have clear descriptions so the customers are fully aware of the origin of such. Additionally, this division of products is clearly defined in volunteer training, so they may correctly assist customers. This reviewer was a volunteer, who has taught us a valuable lesson: we must do a better job of educating our volunteers! We embrace all feedback as it helps us grow -- not just vegetables, but long-term, trustworthy relationships. Thanks to all our loyal customers and volunteers.
