A CSA is great. I love them. I've had one with Full Moon Farm for the last few seasons and have…read morebeen disappointed each year. Each year I get email excuses as to why this year's share isn't so good--too much rain, not enough rain, cold weather, warm weather. Each year the share seems a little less. I get how a CSA operates and as a member I rely on the farm which is susceptible to the uncertainty of Vermont's weather. However, Vermont's weather is uncertain. We all know this. Maybe the farmers here should be better prepared for it instead of passing along their shortcomings to their members. I've spoken to a number of friends who have a CSA elsewhere and they are doing much better with theirs. It seems other farmers have figured it out better than Full Moon has.

In Burlington, it's all about buying local and supporting local businesses and all that good stuff…read more One of the great ways to do this is to join a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). We've known Dave and Rachel, the owners of Full Moon Farm, for years now, but only joined as members this year. For a flat price, paid in early spring, we get a weekly share of the produce grown at their farm. (the price depends upon what size share you get) The produce we're getting is organic, locally grown, fresh, and picked the day that we get it. I am not looking forward to eating store-bought produce this winter. Being a member of a CSA is a great thing to do for a variety of reasons (support local economy, good for the environment, you are eating fresher produce, it's fun to try to eat "in season"), and there are CSAs all over the country. It's also been great to get to know Dave and Rachel as more than just our neighbors, to learn about how the temperature and rain is beneficial for some crops, and detrimental to others. I would highly recommend joining a CSA, and I anxiously look forward to next week's pickup!

Farmers To You is the modern CSA for busy families, with pickup locations in Cambridge, Somerville,…read moreBoston, and points all over Greater Boston (http://farmerstoyou.com/current_pickup_sites.php) or delivery to your home/office. We have been enjoying Farmers To You for 3+ years. It gives us a broad selection of locally grown organic/natural foods grown in Vermont. New families get a $35 off the first order (Just a minimum of $40 per order and no membership fees.) FTY fits our busy schedule because: 1. We order online exactly what we want each week (no more boxes of random veggies that you can't coordinate w/your supermarket shopping) 2. The once a week pick up takes about 5 minutes and replaces 2 trips to the supermarket each month. 3a. The freshness of the veggies, fruit, milk, fish can't be beat. Pastas, sauces, and ready made items make a quick weekday dinner easy. 3b. The broad selection means there is always something you need even in the winter when produce is more limited, but you can still get meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and pantry items like maple syrup, jams, tofu, chocolate, coffee, and more 4. The only requirement is a $40 order each week (as a family of 4 we spend $90-$100/wk). 5. Late pickup from coolers gives you leeway on busy days. 6. Fewer trips to the supermarket gives me a few extra hours per month while still feeding my family well. We like the food we get and that it keeps us eating locally and seasonally.

This review is based on my first visit for u-pick berries. I went for their red currants and blue…read moreberries. VT is the only place I found fresh currants so I was ecstatic to find a certified organic farm that grew them and were in season! +++ LRF is a family owned fabulous 200+ acres working farm in Monkton! Of that 90 acres is CERTIFIED ORGANIC, which has stringent requirements. I think it takes about 3 years and is an expensive process for farmers. They offer pick your own (PYO) berries (strawberries, currants, raspberries and blueberries), retail online and on-site for garlic, onions, tomatoes and other produce, pasture raised hen eggs and scratch made jams and CSA. They also sell hay to local farmers. Around here, customers, CSA included, come to farms to pick what they want. I called ahead and met Eugenia(sp?) upon arrival. She was friendly and showed me how and where to pick both red and black currants. Blue berries were not open to the public yet but she kindly let me pick a quart;-)). Their berries are high quality and after picking 3 quarts of berries, I decided I had an ample quantity....berry picking was addictive - LoL! + Price was reasonable. I paid $20 for 3 quarts of organic berries! TLR accepts cash, check and Venmo. + Parking if free ++ Eugenia was very kind and helpful! They are open May - October for PYO but CALL ahead and listen to their recording as their hours depend on weather changes and each crop ripeness. I left a voice message and Eugenia called me back after 90 minutes. Get some fresh air and enjoy getting farm fresh organic food!

I was fortunate enough to find this farm via the state's list of pick-your-own farms. They are a…read morefully organic farm, which is no small feat. Strawberries are the number one produce that is on the EWG's annual dirty dozen list, full of so many pesticides, that there's no way I want to buy non-organic strawberries (pesticides used for organic use are much safer). The farm has an excellent and safe procedures plan in place for COVID-19. You make a reservation in advance on the date you want, giving you two hours to pick as much as you need. They provide the cartons, which cannot be reused by anyone else due to safety measures. You will pay them via Venmo or credit card-no cash exchanges hands. So we decided on a sunny afternoon and donning our masks, headed out to the fields after we'd washed our hands in the outdoor sink, per their policy (excellent). One bonus to having a reservation, is fewer people picking at a time. We had several rows to ourselves and the owner Silas took the netting off of some patches for us and said we were welcome to move more, if we needed to. 70 minutes later, laden down with over 15 pounds of delicious strawberries of different varieties, paid the bill and headed home. These berries are amazing. I made: -strawberry lemon marmalade; -low sugar strawberry jam; -strawberry vinegar (and took the strawberries once the vinegar was fully infused and sweetened to make pie filling; -strawberry red wine jam and still have 4 cups to do with as I please! (still deciding) I'll definitely come here again; this is a wonderful farm in a gorgeous part of Vermont (couldn't all of VT though described as such)?

So we got our Thanksgiving turkey at The Green Mountain Girls Farm, and it was the best turkey I've…read moreever made. Even my sister said so! The day before, my husband picked up a big 22-pound bird that had just been butchered a few days ago. It was so fresh that I had a few tiny feathers floating around in my brine. It was so fresh that I could just barely separate the skin from the breast meat to rub in the butter and fresh thyme, which the Girls also so generously provided. It was so fresh I didn't really have to tie together the legs or pin down the wings. It was so fresh that you could *taste* it. And this was (or had been) one healthy turkey! You could tell by the quality of the skin, the texture of the uncooked meat, the size of the bones!!! Man, this turkey had been doing some weight-bearing exercises or something! Huge leg bones. Wings you could make a meal of. I can't wait to taste the broth. Yet the meat was as tender as it was flavorful. Now, with fresh turkey from a farm, you're gonna want to brine it. My 22-lb bird fit in the brining bag from the grocery store beautifully. I put in 1.5 cups of salt, a cup of sugar, and about 2 gallons of water, and I let her sit for about 18 hours. I rinsed her real well; patted her dry; stuffed her with onion, carrots, and celery; covered her with a pound of bacon; wrapped her up tightly in tinfoil; and then I let her roast at 425 degrees for about 3 hours, unwrapped her, and let her brown for about 30 more. Perfect. Tomorrow I'm making turkey pot pie and turkey stock--with locally grown carrots, onions, garlic, and celery. I love knowing that my turkey had been well-cared for and loved, that she is about as organic as you can get, and that her purchase supported my favorite local farm girls. And my guests loved that tender, tasty turkey.

If no one is available to show me where items are in the disorganized room or to help me use my credit card, I would be at a loss. Prices were high, as they should be, but convenience should be elevated as well. Good luck to them as they sort these issues out.
