This will be my third year as a working member of the CSA at White Rabbit. I have learned so much and love taking home freshly harvested produce on work days. The variety of produce is nothing short of amazing and I love that I can shop anytime and use my allotment for what my family enjoys. Val and Brain are so knowledgeable and are constantly learning themselves so as to pass it on to the rest of us. The membership feels like a big family and with everyone working together it makes the work fun.

The family and I had a GREAT time at the Pumpkin Patch today. Not glitzy or glam, which is a good thing in our book, plenty of things to see and do and some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! The two day old calf we got to see was a real treat, not to mention, "Sweetie" the horse, "Simba" the cat, the goats, the chickens, games and the pumpkins, as a side note you may want to get there early the next day they are open to get a pumpkin, they are going FAST. The "Hay Ride", not your typical hay ride were they rush through to get the next batch of customers on, Brian takes the time to slow down, stop and show you the farm. Which leads me back to the calf and the other animals, where else are you going to go on a hay ride where you get to interact with the animals. We thought it an honor, to be invited into their farm, and over all a great experience my family won't soon forget! Thanks to all at the farm.

This is my second year with the CSA and I really enjoy working at the farm and harvesting all the goodies grown by all of us. The produce that we get to take home can't be any healthier, clean, safer and more delicious. I'm looking forward to my third year!

This was our third year in our CSA. The vegetables are varied and wonderful. We eat them all winter, what is nicer than eating organic salads with abandon! Looking forward to the next season.

We are non-working members of the CSA but enjoyed helping out in emergencies, like covering and uncovering the crops during the winter freezes! The salad mix is my favorite, full of unusual tender greens and nasturtium blossoms. I also love the beets! If you would like to experience the rich flavor of organic veggies, try these! White Rabbit Farm, tucked away in a special part of Paradise (aka Vero Beach), is always a popular stop for our out of town guests (although they/we all miss the parrot!)

Last year was my first experience as a member of a CSA and I really enjoyed it. I learned many things in the farming field thanks to Valerie and Brian who are so passionate about their job at White Rabbit, and also from other members, great, good hearted people that join me in this experience.
The harvest was abundant and colorful!! I loved this part!
And we had good weather throughout the year.
I was very happy to be part of a community working for good food and to better our planet!!!
I would love to do it again!

My husband and I love "our" CSA near route 60 in Vero Beach. This will be our third year, we live on the vegetables all winter. As there is no store such as Whole Foods anywhere near here, the farm has been a blessing to us. The crops to be grown in this sandy part of Florida are amazing!

Love the farm! This is my third season working and eating from the CSA. There are lots of great people working and the crops are really good. The lettuce mix alone is worth it. Even my husband loves it!

We have known White Rabbit before their rebirth as a CSA and so we really are old-timers.
With the birth of the CSA, there is a burst of community exuberance and enthusiasm that you can taste in the produce. They just somehow taste better when they are produced with care and in a natural organic way by people who are working not for shelf life and uniformity, but for quality and variety.
We love going to White Rabbit to get our food. The whole atmosphere is so welcoming and honest. Nothing is glitzy artificial high-powered "buy me try me" pressured. It's all REAL HONEST GOOD CLEAN FOOD. This is the kind of stuff you want to put into your body in order to be healthy and not add poisons to your diet.
As senior citizens we joined as non-working members and that is very good for us. It is convenient, we don't and can't do the gardening, but we to get the wonderful benefits.

What a great CSA! As I prepare to move to Maryland one of the main things I will miss about Vero Beach is my time spent at White Rabbit Acres. I am already mourning the loss of the most delicious snow peas I have ever, or will ever taste. The produce you get at White Rabbit you can not get in a grocery store... heirloom tomatoes, purple & pink carrots, sweet corn you can eat raw, and more. If you cook or just like to eat joining this CSA will completely change your life in the kitchen. I am a busy working mom and the flexibility of working, non-working, and half shares means you can participate in this CSA no matter what your schedule. Did I mention that you will also meet a group of really incredible people from all different backgrounds. White Rabbit is worth the investment!

We are among the first members of this terrific little CSA! We have learned so much in the past two years -- and now this is our thrid season!
Many of the great benefits are that we have meet other like-minded folks, interested in where their food products come from and their willingness to support "Grow Local"!
When we first started, we were thinking it was just about "the food". Now, it's about the people, the land, our ability to learn to sustain what we're doing, etc!
Some folks may not be used to thinking about actually "working" but we think it's one of the best parts!! Getting your hands dirty and connecting to the land is a wonderful thing!!
Hope to see some new faces out here soon!!
