I love this business. I think it is a great idea and a cool "niche". Basically, you pay for a…read moreshare of frozen food. 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.

This will be the second year I started coming here. I was told about Alexander's from several…read morepeople so they must be doing something right. They have a nice selection of plants, herbs and vegetables. One big thing I did notice this year was that they dropped the cell size of the vegetable saplings from 4 to 3 but the price stayed the same $1.99. A lot of places are still charging the same price for a 4 cell so keep that in mind. The plants looked really healthy this year so far. I love their Salad Bowls. I always pick up 2 or 3. It's great having access to fresh lettuce everyday. I also came looking for a couple Lemon Cypress trees. Sadly they don't carry them so that was a bit of a disappointment. We did leave with some herbs and vegetable plants though. TIP: Get here early in the season... The plants that they have in the first week or two of opening are a great deal for their size, a large 4" tomato plant will cost you less than $3.

I was really impressed with how many employees were here ready to help. Every experience I had was…read morevery positive, except for one slightly sassy cashier. It was probably more of a personality thing, but I just expect sort of a premium experience when I'm paying such high prices. I was really impressed with the guy at the customer service desk that helped me with a product I was looking for. He was able to ask an employee a clarifying question and give me history as to why that item was potentially discontinued and even gave me an estimated date for when it should be coming back. I was very impressed. I got the runaround at Whole Foods asking about this item and I didn't even try target. My kiddo has lots of significant anaphylactic allergies so we end up buying lots of expensive specialty items, and take the occasional trip to specialty grocery stores like Arbor Farms. I love the concept of shopping for Local Michigan items, but with a big family, this is not always in the budget. I will definitely be back with the level of service that I received from the Customer Service guy. Thank you so much!
