If you've ever stopped in at Yerico Farms Veggie & Fruit Stand during the late Spring, Summer and…read moreFall, you most likely were never disappointed in their selection, price or family friendly staff! So - stopping in at their new Greenhouse - right beside the Farmers Stand - will make you realize that it's the same ole same ole - great selection, great prices and that same ole family service. You see - what separates the Yericos from many of the places around is that they've been doing this work for 4 generations and I think each generation get's it a bit better - nothing against any of the later generations as they are all very fine people! The Greenhouses - yes more then one - are loaded with spectacular color from all those Perennials (yes those are the kind you don't have to plant every year) and those Annuals as well - the biggest difference between a perennial and an annual is more then the planting - most annuals have more flowers, but at Yericos it seemed everything was beautiful - even the staff! If planting isn't your cup of tea - don't worry about it, they have Deck Pots, Hanging Baskets, Garden Pots, Herb Gardens & Memorial Plantings - yes picked up my basic and hope I can let it grow without picking it! They are open 7 days a week from 9 AM 'til 7 PM - that should just about do for anyone! So stop in and let them know I sent you!

Privitera's is a quaint family owned farm & garden market. They sell some of the most fresh produce…read moreyou'll ever find, as well as floral accompaniments and gardening supplies. Prices are extremely reasonable for local/fresh/organic. Every staff I've encountered there is SO nice and helpful - just about as sweet as their local honey! I once got a zucchini so large, it took 3 days and a lot of creativity to cook down. Their summer squash is delightful - tender, sweet... Perfection. They have large, firm but juicy heirloom tomatoes.. And I wouldn't forget to try the fudge at the counter!

This isn't just another local farmers market!…read more I've heard a lot about "Fred Farms" and after picking up a couple of red and juicy tomatoes - I had to go to THE place and check it out. Amazing variety of fresh produce - and prices that were very reasonable. I can tell you truthfully that the tomatoes here are the very best I have ever eating in my life. I used them for BLT's last night - incredible flavor. I also had the cucumbers, which were amazing as well. Then - before we left we looked at the huge hibiscus plants they were selling - and after looking at their own we decided to buy one. Though we only bought one because we don't know what we'd do with the one we bought, but the price was a huge $5.00 - I still can't believe they are selling these for so little - anywhere and everywhere else - a place this size is going to go for at least ten bucks - if not a lot more! And it's loaded with huge blossoms yet to open. The parking is great - plenty of space and though they do not accept credit cards - they do accept checks and fo course cash.

I have been a member of Native Offerings CSA for about 5-6 years now, and every summer I look…read moreforward to their farm fresh produce grown using organic practices. There are 4 different options for pick up: in Orchard Park on Tuesdays from 3:30-6:30, at the Williamsville Lehigh Depot on Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30pm, and in Buffalo at Lafayette Church on Thursdays from 4-6:30pm. I actually pick up at the Williamsville location, and like another reviewer said, if you go later in the pick-up time there may be a narrower selection of produce. However, if you go at 3:30pm, you run into the rabid soccer moms fighting for that last bunch of cilantro. So I try to target 5:00 for selection and my own sanity. There are 3 types of shares: full, small, and individual. We are a family of 2 so I've always gotten the individual share. It's not an overwhelming amount of vegetables, but its not enough to last me the whole week (I supplement with Wegmans and farmer's market for items I want that aren't in the share). A typical individual share is 1-2 bunches of greens or lettuce, 1 pepper, 2 zucchinis, 3/4 pound of green beans, choice of a bunch of beets or carrots, a bundle of herbs. There are usually substitutions if there's something you aren't a fan of. They post on their website and on Facebook what the anticipated vegetables are that week, although sometimes there will be a variance, since you are dealing with Mother Nature. This year the individual share works out to about $13 a week, but you pay up front for the season (although there is an option to pay in 2 installments). One of the things I love about being a part of a CSA is the opportunity to try new vegetables that I've never eaten or cooked before, and it forces you to get really creative with your cooking! Things like bok choy, collard greens, tomatillos, Japanese turnips, swiss chard... I discovered my love of these items through the CSA. The beginning of the summer share is heavy on the greens, but at the height of summer you'll be enjoying some amazing produce, picked fresh that morning. I had done the fruit share for the last 2 years, but this year I'm not going to renew. It just got to be too much, even though I split a share with my friend. I just didn't have the time to deal with 3.5 pounds of peaches. However, I'm sure this year I will look longingly at the fresh strawberries that always smell so delicious! You can now manage your share online, such that if you know you're going to be out of town a certain week, you can move that share to another week for pick up. Or if you forget last minute, you can have a friend pick up your share. There are still shares available for this summer, just go to their website and sign up! You won't be disappointed!

The farm itself is in Little Valley, NY but this review is for the Elmwood pick-up site…read more The produce is abundant, fresh, and delicious. They share farm news and recipes on Facebook and their website. I love Native Offerings and I want to lay out exactly what makes it stand out: Pros: 1. You never have to drive to the farm. They bring all the produce to the Elmwood Lafayette Church on Thursdays. 2. You can pick what you want (to an extent). There is a board that says how much of each item you get and some things are set (one bunch of carrots) and some you have a choice, for example: one bunch of beets or radishes or turnips; one head of lettuce from any of the three kinds; kale or arugula or mizuna or bok choi, etc. 3. There are three sizes. 4. All the vegetables are organic and local. 5. It includes fresh herbs and you usually get a choice or what you want. 6. If you know you're going miss a week, you can double up the week before or week after. Every other CSA I know of makes you find a friend to pick it up or donate it. 7. Great variety without anything too wacky. 8. They post the vegetables on Tuesday (two days ahead) so you have a heads up for your grocery shopping or meal planning. 8. Members can purchase oranges in the winter, trucked in from Florida. Cons: 1. Pick-up starts at 4pm and if you can't get there, you might find your choices limited. The cilantro could be gone and you can only have basil or the asparagus is gone to you get beets picked last year. 2. Pick-up ends at 6:30. If you miss it, you miss it. No veggies for you. 3. It's not the least expensive (but not the most expensive, either.) 4. This season the small share seems smaller than last year. It is supposed to be 2/3 the size of a full share but so far, it full share seems almost twice as large. I don't know if this will right itself as the season presses on, but I am surprised. 5. The vegetables they post on Tuesday aren't always what you get Thursday. There is another pick up site on Tuesdays, and I am assuming it accurately reflects their share, but come Thursday, you find the rapini they promised is no where to be found but there is asparagus that no one mentioned. Native Offerings also offers a fruit share which includes berries but is mostly stone fruit. Some of the fruit is organic but most of it is just low spray. Apparently tree fruit is hard to do organic, especially peaches. I did the fruit share last year but it was just more than we could handle. Two committed fruit lovers could possibly manage it if you plan in advance to freeze some or you're not also doing the vegetable share.

They have a ton of plants to pick from - even early on in the season. From annuals and perennials of flowers and then vegetables, tropical indoor to amazing outdoor plants. And unlike some places - the people who work here grow the plants - so guess what - they are extremely knowledge and trustworthy too! Ok - normally I go for cleanliness - but come on - this is about dirt! What about organization - from one greenhouse to the next - and trust me they have many - you will see a huge selection - so organization is by plants. Sharon took care of me today because grandma Barns wasn't there, but her plants were! I purchased some humming bird attracting vine for hanging baskets - talk about a deal and was even told how to make them come back next year! I also bought an angel leaf fern - pretty cool looking fern and she taught me how to take care of it and clean it out! Of course my basil isn't ready yet, but I will be back. Sharon also told me about the lemon basil and how good it is with fish and that the cinnamon basil is excellent for pork - now where else can you go and get cooking tips from the person selling you plants? Their new greenhouse is also "State of the Art" amazing and there isn't one greenhouse that is off limits to you - simply amazing! Don't worry about parking - plenty of that. And if your hands are full - don't worry - they will help bring it to your vehicle - the nicest and friendliest people in the business! This surely gets my 5 star and I encourage everyone to check them out!
