They also include U-pick options as part of their CSA, however, we live an hour away and we're only able to visit once for a U-Pick. The produce selection is wide and each week, we had lots of different vegetables, including root veggies, lettuces, and cruciferous veg. We picked ours up from a local store in Plymouth made possible thanks to an awesome volunteer. The vegetables were some of the most delicious I've ever had, very fresh, maybe wonky shaped, but so delicious and without pesticides. Tantre Farms also offers an Immune Booster CSA which is curated weekly and features items from other local farms and businesses, an extended fall CSA, and a Thanksgiving CSA.

For that reason, I signed up for the full summer CSA, and have just received my first shipment. The produce is so beautiful and so fresh! It makes such a difference to buy produce direct from the farmer. Here's what I got this week: Arugula: Not something I normally buy, but this is another reason to get a CSA. It's so important to eat a wide range of fruits and vegetables. Asparagus: Some of the best asparagus I've ever had! So much better than what you get at the supermarket. Red Ace Beets: Again, not something I would normally buy. I'm going to roast these with the radishes in the box. Green Garlic: I am so excited to try this, as I love garlic. I'm making a stir-fry with the beautiful napa cabbage and bok choy in the box, and I'll add the green garlic. I am excited to see what will be coming in the weeks ahead.

We were lucky enough to have our wedding on a gorgeous day in June at the prairie barn, and we were completely spoiled with the attentiveness of the bartending, groundskeeping, and planning team. Guests absolutely loved our venue -- from the air-conditioned barn, stunning tent and table rentals, cocktail hour patio, fire pits,and luscious lawn that we got married on in front of a big oak tree! We had the property completely to ourselves from Friday-Sunday to set up, party, and clean up, which was an added bonus and stress-saver. I would recommend this venue to anybody looking to get married in a modern barn or farm venue. Since then, RHF has opened up the Nest, their kitchen & bar, which we also have loved frequently this past season!

We were seated at our table and given the cocktail menu. I ordered the rosemary greyhound. It was refreshing and had just the right amount of rosemary in it. They have a full bar and others at my table had mimosas or bourbon. The brunch menu had many choices, all looked amazing. At my table we had the short rib hash, the boursin cheese egg sandwich, the salmon egg scramble & the sausage, egg and pimento sandwich. Everything was excellent. The hash had amazing roasted potatoes, a nice amount of meat and two beautiful fried eggs on top. Actually, all the dishes came with a side of roasted potatoes that were wonderful. One of the things that I think would really elevate this restaurant is if their orange juice was fresh squeezed. However, it was quite good. We will be coming back soon to try the Italian grinder and the Nutella French toast. We are told that there is music on some nights and we did not review the dinner menu. However, if it's anything like the brunch menu, I can't wait to try it.

In the fall they have a lot of offerings on Saturdays and Sundays. You can take a hayride to pick your own pumpkin, and unlike some school field trips where my kids selected a pumpkin from ones "lain about" in a field, this was the real deal with vines attached and small to xxl to choose from. The hayride has stairs in the farm and the field, which is nice for older folks. They offer another one that goes through the woods, too. There was a corn maze that wasn't extraordinarily difficult, but was just right and fun to explore. There were some goats, a sheep, a turkey, and chickens to feed, and the kids loved a free covered hay pile play park with a tunnel and wood play structure. That got out some energy! I saw another tent where it looked like you could paint your pumpkin, but we didn't go in there. There was a cute photo spot with a bench, and I even picked up some homegrown produce that looked good and was really affordable. See pic for prices w activities. I thought this whole place was pretty affordable... At some of those farms the prices are crazy. Everyone who worked here was really nice and helpful, too! We came here after stopping for exceptional cider and donuts at Young's Orchard about 4 miles away, and it was a perfect fall family day!

Pregitzer Farm participates in the Westside Farmer's Market in front of Zingerman's Roadhouse. Our…read morerelationship with them started by purchasing their veggies at the Farmer's Market every Thursday; eventually, I would make a beeline for their stand each visit. Wade was always really helpful and personable. One Thursday, we started talking about their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, and he showed me their full and half share boxes. I was immediately jealous of all those families receiving their plentiful boxes each week, and I basically begged myself into the program for a half share box starting in the middle of the summer. I was completely late, and they were full, but somehow, Wade's wife Shannon felt convinced by my plea that I needed their half share box, and they let us in. And I am so glad they did! From August through September it felt like Christmas every week. On Thursdays I would pick up my box, and it was packed full of all of the veggies I love to eat. (My husband said I was like a small child at Christmas on Thursdays when I would bring the box home and take everything out immediately and revel in what I would be cooking for the next few days). The difference between this farm and many other farms is that they focus on the staples: zucchini, squash, tomatoes (many varieties), cucumbers, melon, corn, cabbage, broccoli, beets, peppers, eggplant... towards the end of the season we also got brussel sprouts, garlic, potatoes, and some herbs. This was the perfect box for us because I did not want a lot of salad greens -- I am not a huge salad eater. And I've always been a bit wary of CSA boxes for fear of getting a giant box of arugula and romaine that will go bad in my fridge. But after a season with Pregitzer, I am completely hooked on the CSA program and on their box! The half share box is really affordable, in my opinion -- $220 for the season, which works out to roughly $13 a week. For fresh, local produce -- you can't beat that. And they extended out their CSA program from what it said on their website, and I thought that was a total bonus. Half share is the perfect amount for two people. Pregitzer also hosted a number of activity days on their farm on the weekends. I never got a chance to go, but hopefully will next year. They are also open for business on their farm on the weekends and sell their produce then. Additionally, they offer egg shares (a carton a week for the duration of the CSA) for $30 and they also offer whole chickens for sale in November and December to their CSA people. If you are interested in doing a CSA box, fall and early winter is the time to do the research, pick your farm and get on their wait list. Be sure to look on their websites and see what they grow, ask what kind of veggies you will get throughout the year, and be sure it meshes with the kind of food you like to eat. Ask one of their CSA'ers about their program too, if possible.

The food is bought during the harvest months and preserved and then you get it in the winter. I am far too lazy to actually do this myself, so this CSA is perfect for me! I've gotten corn, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries (awesome for Tgiving dinner), raspberries, pumpkin puree, tomatoes, squash, peaches...tons more that I can't think of off the top of my head. Yes, it is not cheap. I am about the cheapest person I know and even I will pay for this because the quality is that good. I also spent some time at the warehouse this summer and I saw first-hand the hard work that goes into the process of preserving this food. I will also say that I just paid $8 for a quart of blueberries. If the average price here is $7 per bag, I'm getting almost a full quart (I think it was 12 oz) of blueberries for that price. So I'm really only paying a little bit more and I don't have to actually freeze them. (Yeah I know it's not hard to freeze blueberries...did I mention that I'm not only the cheapest person I know, but the laziest??? :)) Seriously, this is a cool business. Check it out.

I was skeptical about the quality of the food being offered. After all, when you buy frozen…read morevegetables and fruits at the grocery store, you usually end up with something watery and/or mushy. And the cost was also an issue. But Rena did a smart thing: She let people buy a sample package just before Thanksgiving without making a commitment for the whole season. And as soon as I tasted their frozen sweet corn, I knew I had to sign up. I handed over my money, picked up my first batch of fruits and veg and have never regretted it. Everything's relative, so unlike a previous reviewer who is always surprised at how little food she gets every month, I'm always surprised at how MUCH I get. Whatever freezing process they use, it works. Asparagus was nice and crisp, and the fruits retain so much more flavor than the frozen fruit you pick up in the grocery store. These foods are not fresh--they ARE frozen--so you can't expect them to be the same as fresh when they are thawed, but this produce comes as close as I think is possible. And it's so nice to be able to taste these delicious flavors in the dead of winter.

Attention: Management…read more Hello, I'd like to let you know about my visit I had last night (3/12/19) around 6:50pm for my wife's birthday. There were many mistakes throughout the night. First off the bread was not served until 70% of the way through The meal and only until we had mentioned the food mistakes twice. We order the brussels sprouts, and one pork taco to start. The taco came out just before the Brussels and the Brussels were not roasted, more like sautéed with water. There was no seasoning whatsoever on the brussels sprouts the only seasoning was what tasted like overly spiced unbalanced coconut curry at the base of the dish with plain yogurt sloppily on top with unseasoned crispy shallots. I tried 2 times to eat this dish and neither of us could finish it. My pork taco was good, however the jalapeño sauce was very runny and almost nowhere to be seen or tasted. It was quite some time until we got rid of the Brussels from our table. We both ordered the orchard salad (one of my personal favorites) I have had it many times and I know that dish inside and out. I requested saga blue cheese on the side and my wife requested bacon on the side as she is a vegetarian . The salads took 30 minutes and the server mentioned "we had a mistake in the kitchen we had a remake of it" but it still should not have taken that long. Many times I looked back and the grande manager Cook was gone from the station and the sauté chef had one headphone in one of his ears as he was washing his hands! I'm not sure if your policy has changed but every restaurant Ive worked has a no headphones or phones allowed on the floor policy. At one time I saw the chef on duty go to the bar and have a drink out of what looked like a highball glass full of a liquid that Looked like a medium brown liquor. The salads came out, we began to eat them and I noticed one bite in that there was no Marcona almonds. I asked the server if he had any other nuts when he came by to check up on us, and he said no. I mentioned do you have cashews he said no. There were pecans on the menu with the sweet potato bisque. He could have mentioned those instead. He did not tell me before I order the salad that the marcona almonds were 86'd. My wife had pieces of bacon stuck on the blue cheese and the side of cheese that they gave me was Brie crumbled up instead of Saga blue cheese. It was very frustrating at this point because they had been almost 45 minutes and we were both hungry and irritated. My wife also ordered the French onion soup and when she got that she was extremely disappointed because it was a mess, there was no layer of cheese sealing in the hot soup, and the broth was very thick and almost had a undeveloped flavor profile. It had looks like there was a crouton with some cheese on it. I had tried the soup and I agree with my wife it was not very flavorful, we sent that back. She sent this soup back and got the Brie, which is consistent. This had been a special night for me and my wife. It was her Birthday and we never go out for reasons like this. I didn't expect this to happen to us on the one time we get a babysitter and go out to eat it, was quite frustrating. We packed up the salads and took them home. The server brought the dessert menu to us at that time and offered a dessert on the house. Our server did not compliment our meal at all even though our bill was only $33 and some change. We had to leave. All in all one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in a very long time. The diner down the street could do better. I hope that you read this to your staff, both front and back of the house and understand that they need to step their game up. Just because they were once a restaurant of the year when it was formally run by Chef James Rigato that does not mean you can pull the wool over people's eyes and serve whatever you would like without any sort of integrity behind the food. I worked with James when The Root first opened and if James were still there this would not be accepted. I feel very badly that it's gone down this route.
