Reviews for: Prescott's Patch

I love Prescott Patch CSA because:

I love to eat organic when possible~ It comes from local farmers and I am supporting local growers~ I love to cook and experiment with new ingredients~ Some of the items in my CSA I would not think to buy in the grocery store, so it encourages me to try new veges~ I LOVE VEGETABLES~ I love to cook real food and limit processed foods to <5% of my diet~ I don?t like to get my hands dirty, so this is like your own farm but better:) and easier~ It's like Christmas every week when I pick up my veges:)~ I am sad to see the new political administration doesn?t think there is a need for the EPA, therefore even less regulations on pesticides, GMO?s etc.~ It's cheaper than the grocery store~ Everything tastes so real and fresh~ The veges last a lot longer than store bought !!

Should I continue:):) It is worth every penny!!!

I love Prescott's Patch! I have been a member for years and look forward to every season. I tell everyone who wants to eat more vegetable that I couldn't do it without my farmer Steve. Each week I am able to pick up a wonderful assortment of beautiful, delicious, and chemical free vegetables. The shares are very generous for the price. I've been able to freeze and can to keep the goodness through the winter. Steve is passionate about providing the most sustainable and healthy food. They also produce the best tasting strawberries I've ever had! I believe this is best CSA in the area.

Steve, Lynn and the rest of the crew at the farm produce the most amazing food you will ever eat. Healthy, delicious, free of chemicals and incredibly generous shares for the price! They are wonderfully friendly, and passionate about providing your family with the best food possible. By far, the best CSA anywhere in the area.

We eat a plant-based diet, so this was the perfect solution to getting a large quantity of high-quality, variety of local produce for a great price. What I liked best about this CSA is that you get to pick out your produce from the tables and bins. I also really enjoyed that we receive different varieties of the same vegetable, so we aren't eating the same potatoes or kale week after week. This was the first year for us and we will most definitely be returning. We also did the fall share from November through December, which is equally as delicious.

Prescott's Patch is a hidden gem in Lancaster county. I've been a CSA member for a number of years now, and I appreciate it more each spring when it resumes. Steve is truly committed to protecting the land environmentally, as well as producing crops untainted by chemicals. The shares are fresh, they're generous, and they taste great!

I find this CSA to be a great value for the money - it would cost so much more in a grocery store, AND, my vegetable horizons have expanded greatly since I've been a member. It makes me feel good to feed my family healthy food!

I love the concept of Community Supported Agriculture. Not only does my CSA membership help local farmers who are dedicated to sustainable, chemical-free growing methods, it also encourages me to include more fresh fruits and vegetables in my family's dinners. I've been a CSA member with Prescott's Patch for several years and, after trying another area CSA for one season, I truly appreciate the quality and variety of produce that Steve provides in his weekly shares. There's always something new to try from garlic scapes to kohlrabi to watermelon radishes. Who knew that turnips could be so delicious? I plan to stay with Prescott's Patch as long as Steve offers a CSA.

There is nothing quite like being the first one at the Hellam location on pick-up day. Entering the cool barn and seeing the beautiful produce spread out on the tables and in the bins, painstakingly sorted and organized... well, it's just a glorious sight. When you think about the bounty that's produced as a result of all of Steve's (and the interns') hard work, you realize it's about so much more than just the food.

I like that my kids will eat all the berries and put the empty container back in the return bin before we even get into the car. We have all gotten a taste of things we otherwise would never have tried thanks to Prescott's Patch!

We've been CSA members of Prescott's Patch for several years, and are always happy with the bounty we receive. It's important to me to feed my family chemical-free foods, so I highly value the care Steve takes in growing our food and the environment. I've been introduced to many heirloom plants, the variety is amazing!

I also appreciate the weekly emails sharing delicious recipes, it makes us feel like a real part of the CSA community. I like knowing where our food comes from, and supporting a farm family and our community.

We've been members of this CSA for many years and we've never been disappointed. It was an easy decision to sign on for another year. We've shared harvests through many weather cycles and each week found plenty of the season's standards, as well as something new or unusual to try. The pick your own flowers and weekly notes from the farmer have added pleasure to our CSA experience.

We've also spent time in the field picking strawberries and getting to know Steve. We always comment on the sense of calm and vibrance we feel on this peice of land. Steve's integrity and hardworking paternership with nature make this CSA a local food source that nourishes on many levels.

As a former intern and employee I highly recommend Prescott's Patch as an excellent source for fresh local veggies and fruit. Steve Prescott cultivates chemical free produce with the highest level of integrity, and priority for environmentally sensitive practices.

My family have been CSA members with Prescott's Patch for seven seasons, and we have been delighted with the variety and quality of produce we receive every year. From beautiful heirloom tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, and watermelons in the summer to sweet potatoes, pumpkins, kale, and Brussels sprouts in the fall, Prescott's Patch provides CSA members generous quantities of produce that is wholesome, flavorful, diverse, and full of culinary possibilities. I recommend Prescott's Patch to anyone searching for a CSA that prioritizes respect for the environment, value, and quality delicious produce!

As an intern at Prescott's Patch during the summer of 2008, I can speak for the integrity of the day to day practices at the farm that may go unnoticed by CSA members or customers. Steve was incredibly conscientious about all aspects of the farm--from where he purchased seeds, to reusing any plastic bags or irrigation tape, to avoiding even organic-certified pesticides where possible (trust me, I spent a fair amount of time de-bugging potato plants by hand). The Prescott's are also serious about connecting with their CSA members and community and getting involved in other local sustainable farming/gardening efforts. At a time when the term "sustainable" often seems like nothing more than advertising tool, Prescott's Patch is the real deal. I HIGHLY recommend it as a wonderful place to work and as a farm you can feel good about supporting.

I have been a CSA Member of Prescott's Patch for several years now, and I have to say that every year gets better. All the produce is fantastic and we get great variety that we can't find in many farmers markets. Every week we look forward to our pick-up and seeing what delicious veggies and fruit we are going to get that week. I believe we've counted up to 21 different items at one of our pick-ups and generous amounts of each. This is definitely one CSA that is well worth the asking price. Your only problem will be trying to figure out how to use all of those delicious veggies.
