I am a farm share subscriber with this somewhat new farm. The produce really is as good as it gets. Right now, this farm is selling only to restaurants and to CSA (community supported agriculture) subscribers but if you either encounter their produce at a restaurant or have the chance to buy a share for the season, you will be in for a treat. With CSA shares, you don't pick what you get. Seasonal vegetables rotate and yes, sometimes you get a ton of cabbage or kale or whatever. However, when the vegetables are this fresh, it is easy to make them last because its amazing how long lettuce will stay fresh when it wasn't already sitting in a transport truck and a grocery shelf for a week or two. Even delicate vegetables like garlic ramps are still on my recipe list 2 weeks after delivery (and proper storage) because they were so fresh to begin with. Some vegetables work well for pickling or other preservation methods like making kimchi. The vegetables are as fresh as you can ask for, delivered to your door as scheduled. With recipe suggestions emailed the day before. This is organic farming with many heirloom seeds and some veggies won't look just like "normal" but that doesn't mean they aren't even better tasting than normal. I've tried fresh lettuce and kale and turnips that I have never heard of before but that have won the taste contest from store bought.
