    Rubicon River Farm - Summer 2011

    If you are not familiar with the acronym C.S.A., it stands for Community Supported Agriculture…read more This allows you to purchase a share in the farm, typically in early spring, and then receive your vegetables, eggs, and other farm items from the farm throughout the season. The farmer has funds to invest in products and their operations directly versus purchasing from a store which would take a cut prior to passing along to the farmer. I was first introduced to Rubicon River Farm at the Urban Ecology Center's annual CSA event which allows you to meet the farmers and understand how each chooses to run their business. Their shares sold out before I could sign up in 2012 but I signed up early and took part in the 2013 season. I chose a bi-weekly, single share which fits with my household size and lifestyle at the moment. I receive bags of fresh salad mix, assorted vegetables, some bulk items such as raw sunflower kernels and brewer's yeast and even potted fresh herbs to grow on my porch throughout the season. One of my favorites is garlic and garlic scapes (the green ends of the garlic) and Swiss chard. They are both great in quiche. I'm looking forward to the other bounties of the season, including fall as well. One thing that I feel sets Rubicon River Farm apart from other farms is the communication and involvement with the shareholders. Each week there is an online newsletter which discusses the items, teaches you more about the ways to prepare and sometimes the history. For some, the items may be outside of the normal grocery purchases but it is a great adventure. The owner also arranges special events, like organic strawberry picking at the farm. There is also an option to assist at the farm to be involved in the process. This can also be a device to supplement your share cost. Families can also visit with their children to show them where food REALLY comes from. There are a variety of delivery options, including delivery to your home or business. It is very convenient for folks who may work or travel frequently. The farm is also open for onsite vegetable and egg sales for those who want a little bit more or just want to check things out. I am more than pleased with the way this CSA program is operated and what I receive. I often recommend Rubicon River Farm to my friends and family - not to mention share some of the treats I prepare from my bounty.

    I stumbled upon Joshewea's Garden products quite by accident a couple of months ago. I read Dr…read moreWilliam Davis's book titled "Wheatbelly: Lose the Wheat, Lost the Weight" and what happened after that has been the best thing that has happened to me in 40 years. In my quest to give up wheat, I began seeking out organic, unprocessed foods which is exactly what Joshewea's Garden produces. I purchased a variety of the products and couldn't believe how excellent each and every item was. The order contained a sampler pack of their nut butters (absolutely fabulous - can't get enough!).

    Joshewea's Garden sells soaked and sprouted flours, nuts, nut butters, seeds and pre-soaked cereals…read morethat are ready-to-eat and/or ready-to-cook. I nabbed that line from their website, because I couldn't think of a better way to describe their yummy products. Everything is made with whole grains that are unprocessed & other locally sourced/organic ingredients. I first picked up a bag of their banana muffin cereal on a whim in a quaint little coffee shop in Hartford WI back in October, just as a snack to tide me over until I got back to Milwaukee & cooked dinner. I ended up polishing off the whole 8oz bag. It was SO delicious! Great crunchy texture, crispy almonds & a heavenly banana flavor that didn't taste artificial at all. I made it a point to stop in that coffee shop each time I was in Hartford to pick up a bag (or three) of the pre-soaked oatmeal cereal; it is the absolute best granola I have ever eaten. The coconut flavored cereal has big tender slices of real organic coconut that are simply heavenly, not that icky sugary shredded kind you find at grocery stores. I'm eating some right now! They had a Facebook promotion late last year after they were making a batch of new Vanilla sprouted snack mix & forgot to add the vanilla, so they were giving bags of the "Oops" batch away for free to their customers. All you had to do was send them an email with your address. They sent me a free bag, & the sprouted nut snack mix was just as delicious as the granola. It was cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds & coconut pieces sweetened with honey. Mmmmm! I had a great idea to bake the snack mix into a shortbread cookie, but I ate it all up before I could even start baking anything. I can't wait to try their nut butters, their other flavors of oatmeal cereal (a friend of mine in NC ordered the orange pecan & loved it), & their trail mix. They also run a sheep farm in Ashippun that sells farm fresh lamb meat & eggs. You can even purchase them online! They're super friendly folks who make healthy snacks/food with locally sourced organic ingredients that are insanely delicious. I think if more people knew that healthy food tasted this good, they'd definitely change their mind about it. I just had to add them here on Yelp!
