I discovered Peach Ridge Farms while looking for a CSA earlier last year. Many local CSAs had sold…read moreout as it seemed lots of people were scrambling for this grocery store alternative in the height of COVID, but Peach Ridge Farms still had availability. They offer a half share for $245 and a full share for $465. The growing season varies but is usually July to November. Pickups for CSA shares are weekly on Monday from 3-7pm at the farm on the NW side. The half share was a perfect amount for my two-person household, and a great value at about $15/week. An average share might include some carrots, bell peppers, grapes, tomatoes, and plums. The best part about Peach Ridge Farms is that it's also a farmer's market where you can purchase additional seasonal produce, farm-fresh eggs, honey, apple cider, and delicious baked goods from Bristolwood Baked! It was so nice to be able to pick up a dozen eggs whenever we need rather than making a trip to the store or ordering grocery delivery. I've also been really happy to find an abundance of delicata squash at the farm, which I have never been able to find regularly at the store. Farmer Todd is there every week ready to ring up any additional items and provide you with some laughs.

Nate and I stopped in after breakfast at Real Food Cafe recently and picked up some groceries and a hanging basket for my mom. The layout of the store is kind of strange and crowded, so it was difficult to maneuver the large cart at times. It took me a bit to find some items since this isn't my regular grocery store, but I was able to find 99% of the stuff on my list. I didn't see many employees around to ask for help finding things. The garden center was a similar situation with only one person who looked to be working there. I wasn't sure which hanging baskets were for sun vs. shade, but some were labeled. They had tons of flowers, vegetables, and other plants available for sale. I can't really comment on pricing since I'm not the plant person in my household, but I'd rather support a local business like Ken's over Lowe's or some other big box store.

I had no idea that they had a variety of animals like cows, goats, and more. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly and there was a lot of available parking. I definitely think this is a fun place to bring a family or go on a date.
