Back when I was just learning what a CSA was, I asked someone to recommend a farm and they suggested Vermont Valley Farm. It's been a number of years now and I'm still a happy, loyal customer. There are a few things that set Vermont Valley Farm apart from the competition:1) Farm events. It's great getting a box of vegetables delivered to a convenient pick-up location once-a-week during the summer. But you know what's even better? Getting the chance to go out to the farm occasionally to see where all the magic happens. Vermont Valley Farm hosts awesome annual events like pesto fest (they provide all the basil, you bring everything else you need and make all the pesto you can eat right there on the farm), corn-boil and pot luck, along with u-pick tomatoes and pumpkins!2) Add-on cheese shares. They partner with Dreamfarm to offer goat cheese CSA shares you can pick up with your veggies. While you'll find Dreamfarm cheeses in local stores, some flavors are only made for the CSA.3) Awesome farmers. This is a family operation and it's clear they love what they do, and love sharing it with their members. They're also socially responsible, and donate large quantities of produce to a local food pantry to help fight food insecurity in our community. You can feel good about being a member!That they have great produce goes without saying. They also offer a variety of shares to meet your needs, including spring, fruit, and storage shares. Can I recommend them enough? No. No, I can not. These guys & gals rock!
