Farm Connection Shopping is a happy healthy experience. I have had numerous first tastes with Farm Connection. The Farm fresh kitchen makes easy prep soups and hot dishes. There is a fun variety of baked goods and unforgettably fresh lettuces and juices from Trinity Ranch and Primal Juice. The meat selection is far beyond any other easy access shopping I have found. The people who work the shop are very upbeat and friendly!

I am beyond grateful to be a part of the Farm Connection. The available selection is off the charts and I love shopping from local businesses and farms. It is fun to locate the products and try new things that are not available anywhere else. Thank you so much for all you do for our community!

I?ve been a member for several years and am so pleased with the quality of all the products I?ve tried. My favorites are the raw dairy and the yogurt and Granola, which is made in the Farm Connection kitchen. Several of my family are members, also. If you?re looking for quality, locally grown and sourced foods, this is for you!

Been going for years and absolutely love it. We usually get raw milk and meat here. I purchased sourdough starter and started making my own bread, crackers, and treats. There's some amazing options, all local! What an amazing thing for our community!

Love, love everything about FC. Its a drive from where I live (in the boons) but well worth it. Staff is always so friendly, so prompt, great at communicating & not to mention supporting our local farmers with farm fresh, organic goodies. Happy customer here!

As someone fairly new to the San Antonio area, I was so pleased to discover the Farm Connection, which offers such a great selection of local produce and products, and even raw milk, which we were missing since moving here. The ordering and pick up process is easy, and everyone there is very friendly as well!

I just renewed my co-op membership fee of $20 and had a great idea. For friends and family in San Antonio-Boerne areas, why not GIFT them this Christmas with a Farm Connection membership? I've never heard of doing this but I bet The Farm Connection can help you. I've been a member for years and as the name suggests, it is a "connection" - a way to support our local farmers while also connecting back to our ROOTS of real food and holistic healing. Who is not looking for a way to start out their NEW YEAR improving their health? This is the ticket and they'll thank you over and over again for introducing them to The Farm Connection!

We have been members of TFC for a decade. It continues to be a favorite for the whole family. They have the yummy cheeses, yogurts, breads and pastries. They have great Salmon and a large variety of clean meat. We love that TFC offers vegan options for those, of us, who are plant based eaters. We highly recommend TFC, You will not be disappointed.

I found The Farm Connection a little over a year ago in an attempt to find a raw milk source for my family of four. My husband and I had been seriously cleaning up our lifestyle, which wasn't terrible, but definitely fell in line with the standard American diet, and we wanted better for our two little girls, and ourselves. While scouring the internet for sources, I came upon The Farm Connection and quickly realized what a gem I had stumbled upon. In addition to the raw milk, I was, once accepted to the program, put in touch with a plethora of other wonderful items, farmers, and products. It's basically like going to the most amazing Farmer's Market, but without having to deal with the crowds, horrible parking, and trying to figure out what produce and meat will actually be used for the week. The Farm Connection has become a priceless part of our lives, and I am so grateful to be a member of such a lovely community. Truly, our lives have been changed for the better because of it.

We love Farm Connection! Organic products are important and essential. We are thankful for such intense research and hard work, working with the farmers and suppliers to bring these amazing offerings. I can place an order, and select everything from holistic treatments to local veggies, locally raised meat, and raw milk! It is so easy to place an order, and pick it all up in one place. Best part is supporting our local farmers and small, family owned businesses!

The Farm Connection is the best thing that has come to San Antonio for locally sourced, organic, substantialy raised sourcing! Beth has taken it from a way to get my raw milk from Mr. Miller (whom i have met personally at the store) to being able to get grassfed pastured meats, poultry and pork and soooo many other great products in one place! The online ordering is so easy... I place my order online by 8am monday morning and can pick it up starting at 3:30 same day! Also open on tuesday. Check them out for specfic times they are open! If they don't carry something, let them know and it just may show up on the order list! Did I mention they offer warm and frozen organic tamales and essential oils!!! Thank you Beth! Your hardwork has paid off for soooo many!

I've been drinking raw milk for years now, and I'm very thankful that I don't have to drive a long distance to get it. The Farm Connection is conveniently close. I like trying new and healthy food, as well as getting my milk for the week. Highly recommend!

I think I am one of the biggest fans of The Farm Connection. I am able to buy great products once a week, the atmosphere is very friendly, and the people involved are dedicated and always working tirelessly to bring the best produce, dairy, meat, etc.. to us. I know everything I buy is really good quality and this is important to me. So thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Highly recommended - the milk, meat, produce, and fermented products are all of the highest quality. It feels great to eat wholesome, real food made with care for people, animals, and the environment. I love this place.

If your looking for the best nutrient rich options look no further! The Farm Connection brings together some of the best options out there, Beth & her team offer a personal experience to purchasing foods to nourish you & your family, while supporting the local economy. New additions to the line up are added all the time, there's always someone there who can answer any questions you have or direct you to a good source.

Some favorites include: local raw milk, yogurt, fresh gmo free eggs, pastured/grassfed meats, ferments, sprouted grains, essential oils, & snacks to grab for your ride home!

I highly recommend The Farm Connection! The milk, eggs, and meat are simply the best. This is the only place I can reliably get local, organic, humanely treated meat and dairy every single week at a convenient time and location.

I used to host a raw milk drop, & when the farmer could no longer do the drops, Beth came to the rescue! She has worked SO hard to make this what it is & her volunteers are just as awesome! I love the flexibility she offers in her open hours & the excellent communication she nurtures with us all through emails. I recommend The Farm Connection to EVERYONE I come across that wants local & organic foods & other healthy products without driving all over south Texas :) I love how Beth has expanded & continues to search out the best sources for her customers. I look forward to many more years of enjoying this place!

Farm connection was started so that we could purchase raw milk from Millers dairy! In less than a year the farm connection has made soooo many great local things available to us! In addition we have access to bulk discounts one lots of other stuff like mountain rose products! I have actually shaken hands with the milkman and the poultryman! Awesome! It gets no better! Did I mention fermented foods, eggs, kefir, and kombucha? Check us out! You won't be disappointed!

This has to be the best, most wonderful place to go in San Antonio. I came across this place through a friend and instead of having to drive over an hour out to get milk, I could drive here. With a newborn at the time, that was, what I considered, better than great. The selection is amazing and keeps growing everyday. I am so happy to have found this place and I love all of the exceptional help and service always provided to me. It has been great to learn about new things when new products are offered. Amazing selection, awesome products, absolutely amazing people as well!

I have been a member since before it was the farm connection. Michelle did a great job with it and is now making wonderful yogurt from raw dairy! Beth took this over and has grown it to what it is now. I really appreciate all the research she does to get the utmost best sustainable food she can. I can trust that whatever I purchase that week it is excellent! Maria

I've done other co-ops before, and I enjoy farmers markets as well, but what I like about Farm Connection is the fact that I am not forced to purchase things in a pre-ordained box that I don't want, or won't necessarily eat. I get to pick and choose what I need and when. If I don't want anything that week, I don't have to purchase anything either. I love the fact that the products are vetted for cruelty free, as that is a big deal to me, but one of the biggest reasons I joined (to be honest) is for the fermented foods. It's the only place I've found that carries them, and in such a variety. The people are always super nice and helpful as well.

This is an amazing service. I love that I don't have to drive all around San Antonio to get local goods. And although I love farmer's markets, sometimes it's just easier to find everything in a small space. I also love that I can trust all the products are thoroughly researched so I don't have to do it! Thank you, Farm Connection!!!

Although this is my first experience with a food coop, I somehow know it's the best out there! Always professional, service oriented, and selling the freshest local foods available. Beth Parks (the main person who runs Farm Connection) must never sleep. She is always there, rain, sleet, or snow to make sure things go smoothly and everyone gets what they came for.

I am a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner in San Antonio. When we first moved here from Wisconsin, I had a hard time finding people who were tuned into the local food movement. I was so happy when a friend told me about what was previously a food co-op. I am very grateful that I can get pasture-raised local meats, raw dairy and other groceries that are in alignment with my values. It is apparent that Beth Parks researches current understanding about nutrition and I appreciate that very much too! I am happy that I can refer my local clients to such a reliable source for their whole foods living. Thank you so much!

I've been a member of this food co-op since inception. The personal commitment of the coordinators and members is outstanding! This is not a "grocery store check-off" for us, it is how we live. Thus, everyone is committed to ensuring the most pristine foods, whole food supplements, and ideas are passed on.

I have been involved with other like-organizations in the Country, but this co-op is how it should be done!

Farm Connection is a gift for me and my family. We only eat raw dairy and when we moved to Texas, we were worried we would no longer have that option and thanks to Beth, we still can eat the way we love to. Not only do we have the option, but we also have the extreme pleasure of DELICIOUS options. The products that they carry are top quality and have incredible taste and shelf life. We started with just dairy, but now we also buy the best pumpkin loaf we've ever eaten, natural products, fresh produce, and pickled vegetables. We look forward to going every week. I highly recommend Farm Connection and every product they offer. Two thumbs WAY up!

We love being able to get fresh organic foods. Love the milk, yogurt, and the mushrooms! The produce, when available is great. They seem to be adding more and more options which is awesome. I love being able to support local farmers and businesses.
