This was the day we got them! We've waited almost a week for a response after emailing to ask if this was a one off. They were very responsive when I was ordering things. :( They say they pick produce at its ripest but I don't think this means as it is about to turn. The delivery set up is different each week. Sometimes a swap box, sometimes not, sometimes it's awkward to get your stuff, sometimes it's so easy! I won't continue when my subscription is up.

After trying other CSAs in the area I came across Riverdog Farm from a newsletter sent out by my…read morefavorite pork butcher, Fatted Calf. $20 a week for organic produce, why not give it a shot. So I paid for a month in advance (you pay by check either by the month or the quarter) and waited for my first pick up. Fortunately there are a few options for picking up your box in Napa (check their website to see if there's one nearby you) including one only a mile away from our home. Yeah! The pickup location, at least in my area, is in someone's carport which is fairly typical of CSAs, thank goodness for volunteers. Just verify your pick up by signing the clipboard by your name, grab your box or unload it into your own bags (if you take the box return it in your next visit) then prepare to be wowed by the amazing produce. Each week is a little but different and changes along with the season. What's always in the box is the most beautiful organic produce I've ever seen. This weeks box had a bunch of gorgeous rainbow chard which was sautéed along with Fatted Calf sweet sausage served on top of Model bread with poached eggs. Best chard ever! I've posted a few pics of the last few boxes, judge for yourself, Riverdog Farm is amazing. It doesn't get any better than this. PS... They also raise organic fed hogs and chickens. Picked up my first pork share (delivered along with my regular box pick up) and the cuts look so tasty. Can not wait to braise the fresh hocks. Check their website for a complete list of pork share offerings.

I haven't written a single Yelp review since the Great Pandemic began. I would like to return to…read moreYelp, starting now, writing thankful and positive reviews for establishments that have come through for all of us in a time of crisis. Let's start with Riverdog! I was pretty confident that I'd written about Riverdog in the past and was somewhat shocked to see that I praised only their eggs in my short initial review. Yes, the eggs are great, and everyone knows it. But I can make a long, long list of Riverdog products that consider to be top notch: green garlic, raw chickens, pork chops, carrots, daikons, asparagus tips, onions, black radishes, little gems when they're available, .... At the moment, their early girl and heirloom tomatoes are truly excellent. In recent weeks, I've gotten their squash and green beans -- excellent again, of course. Riverdog prices are not outrageous, in view of the high quality. Their wares merit a detour. The farmers (Trini and Tim) and their employees (shout out here for Becky) are all super-nice. Check them out!

We were really looking forward to our first box but were extremely disappointed in the quality of…read morethe produce - both the fruits and vegetables. We cancelled our subscription after week one - but have 3 more boxes to pick up since you must pre-order a month at a time. I'm rating it a 2 instead of a 1 because I very much like the CSA model, in theory. We have subscribed to other CSAs in the past and found the quality to be higher. We tried this one because the pick up location was within walking distance of our home. I am reading the five star reviews and wondering how our first impression can be so completely different.

The only drawback is you can't select the box contents, but I look as it as a challenge to eat something new.

No root, leaf, or berry will go uneaten. Especially the berries. We've been enjoying this delicious fresh bounty for over 5 years. Everything is amazing. The veggies are always perfect. Best I've ever had. Sweet, ripe, crispy, deliciousness. I even got my parents to sign up. I want to give a fair assessment: After 5+ years, we've received the occasional fruit that is disappointing - Cara Cara oranges are the best oranges I've ever tasted, but the strawberries picked at full ripeness sometimes only have a day or two left before spoiling, and stone-fruit like peaches, nectarines, or plums are occasionally be less juicy or sweet, probably depending on the weather that year. We still eat it all, even the kale, and the abundance of zucchini that arrives each summer. But our most difficult item has always been the beets. I love them, but my household thinks beets taste like dirt. I've tried dozens of different preparations, even my wife's grandmother's polish chocolate beet cake recipe, but to no avail. I had reverted to giving beets away to friends and neighbors because I couldn't eat them all myself. But no longer! Bring on the beets! (Lettuce Turnip the Beet!) I have a new trick up my sleeve: Beet Kvass - and I can drink it all day. Sooooo easy to make. In short: Raw, unpeeled, chopped beets go in a salt water brine, and get left in a warm dark place for about a week or two until the juice is funky, healthy, and delicious. Second stage fermentation (put the juice in a flip-top bottle) is optional and enables carbonation. Delicious! (Posting because I'm overdue for an update, but everything I said in my previous review still stands.)

Live Power Community Farm CSA is not your typical CSA -- in many ways it's much, much better. But…read moreyou have to know what to expect when you join. It's not the typical "which fruits do you want and we deliver to your door!" type of CSA. This CSA is based in a special kind of farming called biodynamic farming. This is organics on steroids (well, maybe I could have said that a better way, but you get the idea!). Farmers Gloria and Stephen even use horses (hence the truly live power) to work their fields. Another part of it is that, in order to create community and connect people to the farm, members take on part of the work. They don't farm, per se, but they help organize delivery logistics and sorting the vegetables. This CSA is for you if you really care about food activism and reorganizing our economy for equity and sustainability. I've been a member for over a year now and I feel great about the contribution I'm making, the food I'm getting and feeding my children and the friends I've made. I love eating delicious food I can trust!

Great for our health, and really fun to try new veggies! Every week there is a lettuce and herb, and then the rest of the box is stuffed full of a myriad of seasonal choices. A photo and description of the box items is posted on Facebook each week, and an email shares information about the crops, plus recipes. The farm itself is charming, with a stream and covered bridge. I love supporting the young family who runs this wonderful addition to our community. There are also weekly roadside Farm Stands which feature veggies from the farm. So worth the short lovely drive through Meadow Vista to the Foothill Roots Farm!

The food was fresh. I never got anything bad or weird aside from a couple bumped apples. I got a discount code a while ago and used it, got an okay box and although it was pricey for the amount, I let it ride. Then I got a free coupon in my email. Come back to us and we'll give you one! And of course, can I say no to a freebie? Never. However, I feel like this box must have had a Post-it note on it while being assembled that said it was free because it had rotting moldy corn in it and beets with black fungus on them. I was raised on a farm so a few bugs or whatever doesn't bother me but when you put moldy or fungusy vegetables in with other vegetables that contaminates everything. It's gross. It's bad. I do not appreciate. Anyway, I canceled again and I'll stay canceled this time. I would recommend picking your fruit n veg yourself at the local farm stands, better price and you can SEE the quality.
