Mattawoman Creek Farms

Let me just preface this by saying we haven't actually visited the farm but have purchased their produce from the Old Beach Farmer's Market down at the Oceanfront.We love, love, loooooooooooove the produce from here! The major draw for us initially was that the produce is certified organic. The other major draw is that we're reducing our carbon footprint by not having our produce travel from Latin America or the West Coast for that matter...plus, purchasing/consuming produce closer to when it has been picked ensures a tastier product that is more nutritional. We have gone to the Farmer's Market on very hot Saturdays only to get produce that is ridiculously fresh.The produce we've gotten is just gorgeous. I rarely gotten veggies this beautiful from our commissary or local markets. They stay fresh in the fridge for a while and I love knowing that I'm giving my family quality vegetables.We will definitely subscribe to their CSA next year. We totally believe it's well worth it.

produce is always five star. good variety and fantastic quality.

I am reviewing the CSA this farm offers. We purchased the summer small share and we're very disappointed. First of all the portion was very very small and by this I mean you would get three tiny potatoes for example in a week, not even enough to make a side with a meal. For the first 5 or 6 weeks you mainly receive greens and lettuce. I found it unfair that they offer you to PURCHASE for a premium price certain items like blueberries that they don't even include in their CSA, what a bummer. I felt as though our CSA was what ever small amounts they had left over and the best produce was offered at their stands in the farmers market. I wish I had taken photographs of our weekly bag, one week we literally received a 2" piece of rosemary. This really made us laugh considering we have it growing in a pot on our patio and it grows like a weed. To be fair we had a CSA through an organic Pungo farm last summer that was fabulous(Cullipher Farms) In the spring they gave us live herb plants which produced all summer and even came back this year! Their small share was far more than two people could eat in a week and we ended up canning and freezing many yummy things. It also included fruit often, which was a sweet bonus. Cost and quality wise Mattawoman Farm's CSA just didn't add up to other area CSA's we have experienced.
