This review is for Calvert Farm's CSA program. I subscribed for the fall season and have been rewarded with fabulous and varied produce. Items have included cabbage; yams; russet potatoes; broccoli; cauliflower; kale; lettuce; chives; rosemary; turnips; beets; and apples. As just one man, I could do with a little less broccoli (and better apples: who actually likes Red Delicious?), but this CSA has been a great inducement to cook and eat well.
Given the paucity of good food options in the area, and given the wretched quality of grocery stores in New Castle County, I'd recommend Calvert Farm's summer or fall season to anyone. They do weekly drops at several locations in Cecil, New Castle and Harford (?) counties. They're also very friendly and helpful on the phone. Eggs are offered for an additional fee. This season cost me $20/week plus a nominal administration fee. It's been worth every penny. I'm already dreading winter. read more
