My husband and I went with the Winter Green CSA this previous summer, and we are sure glad that we did! I had priced out several CSA options and Winter Green was not the cheapest, but they delivered right to our apartment complex (basically like home delivery), so that's why we chose them.
Each week we received lovely veggies and berries. Oh the berries! Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries! Most CSA's around here don't do berries, but this farm is worth it on those alone. You get tons of them well into the summer season. Our previous CSA loaded us up on way too much lettuce, but Winter green had a nice variety -- I didn't get sick of any one thing. The weekly Farm Notes were great. We were able to feel like a real part of the farm community. There are also various events that Winter Green puts on for CSAers, but we were never around to attend.
We will for sure be choosing them again next year for our CSA.
Winter Green also raises organic beef. We were on the fence about buying a quarter cow, but decided to go with it. We are actually picking it up today from the butcher. What an experience -- basically you get to choose the cuts of meat you want along with any other "extras". Very excited to know that my carbon footprint is getting smaller by choosing to eat great local organic food! read more
