I was recently quizzed by an anxious barista about what happens to the turtles at the Turtle Farms…read moreCSA. I so wanted to say something along the lines of "they serve them up fresh daily." but, apparently, don't have as much of a mean streak as I thought I had... Turtle Farms CSA* has been providing excellent fresh produce services for years. It is difficult to explain just how delicious locally grown and seasonal foods can be. While this may be as much the psychological effect of knowing where my food comes from, or the attention and care put into the farm by those tending it, but it still means that when the box of each week's vegetables arrives, I know I'm in for some great tasting and beneficial meals. *community supported agriculture

The menu is set and curated with vegetables in season. You get a plate with a variety of flavors to sample. A meal with Mediterranean and Caribbean flair that did not disappoint. Our server that evening was the son of the owners and was charismatic and knowledgeable about the passion and production of the farm.

Incredibly good food. Been twice in the last month both visits we sat outside at a picnic table and…read morehad a wonderful meal. We plan to make LT Organic a regular spot. You have to give them a try.

Rip-off. This was my third try at using a CSA and sadly will be my last. Marty is a great salesman…read morebut doesn't deliver on his promises. The CSA was $650 per share for the season which started a month late and ended a month early -- of course Marty blamed the weather which was one of the more mild summers I can remember in a long time. There was not one week where I felt the produce delivered equaled the $36 average price for the 18 week season. The quality of the food was substandard as well. I can find much better produce at the downtown farmers market and get three times as much for the same $36. Save your money and support the downtown farmers as I'm going to do next year.

I purchased apples and one jam. I realized on the way home, I was charged for 2. I have called…read moretwice to get either a refund on my credit card or a check mailed to me. The first phone call, the guy said aren't you coming back? Then he said you can drive here and we will give you the cash. I said it will cost more to drive than the $8.00 dispute. He was going to try to figure out how to credit my card because he saw the transaction and if he couldn't he would call me back. Never received a credit or a phone call. I called again and he will send the check someday. What kind of business is this??? The apples were rotted even though I looked carefully at what I was picking. Stay away from this bad business.

Sun warmed fresh berries. Yes, Please!…read more We checked the website before hand. Blueberries, Cherries, gooseberries, currents and more were all ready for our choosing. You don't need a container cause they will supply you with a bucket. Keep in mind you are picking your own berries in bulk. We took the drive out from Ames and south of Nevada to check it out. They normally bring their berries to the Saturday morning Farmers Market but we were on an adventure. We stopped at the main little station and got the skinny on what to expect. The gentleman was blunt and straight up. We got a map, told where to go and what to do. This place is huge. Lots and lots of berries to be picked, but we were most excited about the blueberries. We had arrived in the perfect time as there were many to be had. It was a very warm early July day and the sun was high and berries ripped to be picked. My Mom and I parked and walked far out into the patch. We found some really decent sized berries and enjoyed the peace as we collected our bounty. I love that I know exactly where my food is coming from and I can even taste the product before committing to the plant. We made our way back to have our selection weighed and paid. There is also a little shop you can stop in and have a treat made from the berries on the property. I couldn't keep my hands out of my blueberries on the way home. I thought they tasted delicious. I would recommend this to anyone who is out for something a little different. The kids would really enjoy helping pick whatever you could desire. I thought it was interesting cause I will be honest and did not realize how a blueberry bush grew and learned something by visiting and taking on this new experience. Now I am just imaging all the different ways to eat my berries!
