I had no idea that lettuce (Lettuce!) could have such a great taste and flavor. They produce unusual varieties from heirloom seeds and they are always trying new things. It is true that being a member of a CSA means you get to experience weather problems too - sometimes the bags are lighter at certain times of the year. But it is more than made up for by the ridiculously overstuffed bags at other times. Plus, I really appreciate how farmer Jim gets us things from other organic farms too: eggs, apples, cherries - any number of things might show up. I love the challenge of learning to cook with what's in season or when unexpected things arrive in our fancy silver bags. I just can not say enough good things about this business, and I am so happy to support organic farming in our beautiful area.

I have been on a healing journey with severe food sensitivities and have been able to eat only three foods: bison, lamb and your poultry for quite some time. Your chicken wings are my absolute favorite and always my go to if I need a 'cleanse' or exceptionally low histamine/easy to digest meal. My digestion is healing, and I am able to enjoy food again with many thanks to you. To nourish the body with an animal raised happily, with love & quality feed (it's not easy to find birds that are not fed corn & soy) and to support your family business adds to the nourishing quality of your meats.

I have been a customer of T&D Willey Farms for seven years. I had no idea it had been that long. I…read morelove this organic farm and its produce. Many of the boxes include produce from other organic growers. The produce is always fresh and will last a couple of weeks in the refrigerator, unlike produce you buy in the store that was actually picked weeks ago and kept in cold storage. The price has recently increased, the first time since 2008, as farming costs have increased and the Willeys pay their workers a living wage. My complaint has nothing to do with the Willeys but rather the drop off locations on the northwest side of down. In the 7 years I have had just about that many pick up spots. Just this week I was notified that Pavilion Shopping Center will no longer allow drop off at their center. Bah humbug, Pavilion.

We love the CSA. We love Whole Foods for organic fruits and veggies, but shopping there requires a…read moretrek and a whole lot of spending cash. This CSA has become a great alternative. We get fresh, organic fruits and veggies delivered to our neighborhood once a week. The CSA has turned Tuesdays into Christmas. As Forest Gump once said, "you never know what you're gonna get." The recipes they include in our box are really helpful and we've been introduced to some great new fruits and veggies. My husband swears by the apples. I love the carrots, ming choi, and the strawberries. They're also very helpful! I love this family!

It's not too big, but if you want to get some nice fruits, veggies, and snacks they have it here! I love micro greens! The man that was selling them, he had about 10 different varieties. And some I've never heard of! I did purchase: Grandmas old fashion butter bunches - This is like popcorn without the Kernal's. I was expecting a different flavor and texture. I got the Elote and the Carmel. I love them both! I would put this in my budget to buy next time. They are $10 per bag Dalemain mansion Marmalade - I haven't tried it yet! Will try it today. Viva Mexican foods. And I think I forgot to take a picture. But we bought the 5 for $30 and the spot in the back, they have different flavored hummus, black chips, fried pit bread and flavored chips For me the pita bread was too hard for my liking, and the black chips....Just some plane Dorito's. The hummus, I couldn't really enjoy, because of the fried hard pita bread. Ever booth pretty much service was amazing. I might not ever try and go the farm we were trying to go to, it was way too far, and it was closed!

I've always wanted to check out the Vineyard Farmer's Market and just never made it over. It was my lucky day as I snuck over while my fiancé was at his appointment. The Vineyard is beautiful and it was a lovely sunny day, just a bit windy. I was surprised at all the vibrant and quality produce offered. There were other vendors selling honey, flowers, food, coffee - even La Boulangerie bakery from Fig Garden had a booth! I honestly felt transported elsewhere for a bit. It felt like a genuine Farmer's Market and easily my favorite in Fresno now. Everything I purchased from this quick visit- I loved. The pastries from La Boulangerie, the coffee from Fabiano, the strawberries I actually purchased from 2 farmers, notably Maos Farms were the sweetest we've had all year and the produce was beautiful and delicious. I eyed some grape leaves sold by an older couple- the last one was purchased before I could say, hello, lol. They looked delicious. Great quality items from local farmers and vendors. I can't wait to return again.

[UPDATE: I still have had no communication from FAD, but I did receive a refund in my Paypal…read moreaccount today. So, I'm adding a star to the rating.] I am all for supporting local businesses, and that's why I started service with this group. I paid $30.00 (auto-debit from my Paypal account) for 10 units of produce to be delivered every Thursday. I received two deliveries, and then I canceled the service. I was billed for the third delivery, but it was never delivered. When I emailed the company directly AND through the website, I received no response. It has been a full week, and still no response. I simply asked to either receive my third deliver or get a refund to my Paypal account. I have heard nothing, so I'm assuming this was a $30.00 lesson in "don't pay until you have product in hand" and "don't ever allow anyone to auto-debit your accounts, Paypal or otherwise!" As far as the produce goes, most of it was good. On the second delivery, I received a basket of cherry tomatoes that were overripe. About 1/3 of the tomatoes were split open and leaked all over the rest of them. I emailed the company about the tomatoes, but I received no reply. The carrots were very soft but usable. The avocados had a lot of black parts in them, and I had to throw one out altogether. I got corn on the cob in both deliveries, and I was very disappointed because it was perfect picking time for the corn, but the ears I received were very bad (lots of missing kernels, very uneven rows, and not sweet). The second delivery of corn like this is what made me decide to cancel. Most of the fruit we received was good, and the green veggies were good, too. I gave 2 stars because of the poor communication, poor produce (that was in season and should have been very good), and the fact that I never got my last (paid for) delivery after I canceled. My advice: go to the farmer's market.

Update: More emails…read moreand phone calls but no response. My account it still being charged every two weeks. This is getting ridiculous. Despite past reviews here about the lack of communication, we subscribe to the service for some organic produce on base since September of 2015. The reviews were spot on, really really horrible communication. We took a trip overseas and froze the account for a month, which was 2 delivery. It took 3-4 phone calls and emails to get the refund, and surprisingly, the boxes were not delivered while we were gone. It went downhill after that... The website doesn't have updated list all the time, so when they don't have something we requested, it's usually replaced with whatever. I mean, we had 3 bags of oranges for one week. That doesn't make sense, oranges for cauliflower and broccoli? It took 3 months to get one refund back when they couldn't get access on base during one of the Monday holidays. Now it's been almost two months since I've called and left emails trying to cancel the service. Have not gotten a refund and is still being charged. Would not recommend to other.

To my fellow readers, I am leaving this review as a final drop from years worth of remarkably appalling communications with Alex. If speaking with zero sugarcoating - this guy is a demented joke. Unreasonable and is best regarded with multiple witnesses (though he remains unaffected by facts, at-large). You will find yourself praying that he doesn't find a reason to disagree with you, even as Alex himself is entirely in the wrong. Upon seeking clarification, he turns a question to a disagreement at the snap of his fingers and is only interested in controlling the conversation to be a one-sided monologue that is intended to not let you fit in a single word. Rest assured that when you do finally speak your side and remind Alex of facts that inconvenience him to be responsible for his own words, he will stoop to hanging the call. Simply put, Alex is severely difficult to deal with, and unfortunately, I've been witness today that this is a conscious and intentional practice on his part. As someone who has dealt with this individual for many years and knows the need of walking on eggshells with him to ensure he doesn't get moody (yes, that's a MEGA common occurrence with Alex) - I am disgusted to learn that this routine is something he is completely aware of. As a a deeply inadequate person when it comes to communicating civilly, Alex tops everything off by having a disturbing expectation of being catered to in his issues, which absolutely speaks to his character and spills into the financial aspects of transactions as well. More directly, he is unreliable, and as a habit he provides extremely poor instructions that later doesn't want to be responsible for. Worse off, Alex is comfortable having a team from Northern California travel down to his farm to them turn them down over being half-an-hour late or not bringing a form that he himself forgot to necessitate. Is very finger-pointing when it comes to his own wrongdoings, and just leaves a nasty tasted in your mouth even if a call goes "well". This review is a collective experience of four total people who have done business with Alex over a span of 5+ years. Please, treat this as a long overdue warning about the troubling standards of how this business treats people because if you haven't encountered a reason to agree with even some of the above, Alex will not keep you waiting long before you agree with ALL of the above.
