I am a farm share subscriber with this somewhat new farm. The produce really is as good as it…read moregets. 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.

Apparently, I am an idiot who does not know how to feel inside a carcass of a turkey for giblets…read moreand a neck. Sarcasm people! How do you miss a neck and giblets in a turkey? Not only did they rob me of my neck and giblets and cut out a chunk of the turkey, most real farms include herbs from their garden for brining. This heritage turkey had absolutely no flavor of game to convince me it was raised wild. I have prepared and roasted goose, duck, and wild turkey for over 20 years for my family, and this farm is not authentic. They are a mass prouder that can't keep their facilities straight enough for quality control! Hello Via, Thanks for your message, I am thinking you are not finding the bag of giblets in your turkey? We use a local USDA butcher to process all of our meats, and he packages the giblets and neck from each turkey and then adds them back into the cavity. The package can be difficult to reach and you may have to try from both ends of the turkey. You will also need to wait until the turkey is completely thawed to reach the pack as it will be frozen and stuck inside. We have never encountered a situation where the neck and giblets are missing, but it is not impossible, as each turkey is handled by a person, not machines. Because of your distance, we are unable to get you another package of giblets today. If you don't find them, do let us know. We can offer you a $5 credit towards a future Elmwood purchase. This could be put towards another shipping order or next year's turkey. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out if you have any questions and I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving! Thanks, Ann Elmwood Stock Farm $129 for a 7lb heritage and $70 for shipping. Do not make the same mistake I did.

Get involved with a few causes that you are passionate about, become intimate with the strategy and impact those nonprofits make, and then not only will you be invested in those causes, you won't ever have to wonder where that time and money goes. I'm delighted to be able to say I have an 11-year history with New Roots and I see every year how gutsy and passionate and impactful this little operation is. The chieftain, Karyn, is a one-person wrecking crew who has a knack for finding a way to keep this thing going, but she's also learned to recruit a great band of impassioned acolytes to keep the cause afloat. In short, New Roots connects local farmers to lower income communities, the sort that the Krogers don't want to serve, and they promote and subsidize healthy eating throughout the entire growing season. New Roots has grown and flourished, survived a pandemic, and has served the underserved dating back to the time when Louisville had just a couple of small farmer's markets. Me? Yeah, I've given a lot of time and a little money to the cause, but that's only a small thing compared to all the great fresh veggies and tremendous community engagement I've enjoyed in return. I can't think of a better review to write on a #ThankYouThursday.
