I love Crawford Organics! What amazing people. The produce we have been getting the past 5 years…read morehas always been top quality. We have tried a few other CSA's and although some are more flashy with huge offerings of "extras", we never had the overall quality found with this CSA. We were so impressed that we have hosted a drop site for the past few seasons and it just works out so well and everyone is super friendly. It looks like they are updating their systems for the Summer 2016 season to offer the customer more choice and feedback (custom ordering?). Something to definitely check out. We also can supplement with more of their produce at our favorite stand (Country Lane Poultry & Produce Thurs-Sat) at the Fairgrounds Farmers Market in Reading. http://www.crawfordorganics.com/

We switched to Crawford Organics after a season with Greensgrow. It is an all-organic,…read morefamily-operated CSA that delivers to a couple of locations in Philly. We've picked up at Bodhi Coffee on Headhouse as well as Sweet Freedom Bakery during two separate seasons. What we've loved: wonderful organic produce, on-time delivery with flexible pick-up (Sweet Freedom would hold our box until the next day when we needed), wonderful newletters with pictures and recipes, and a knowledgeable response to customer inquiries. Also, we really enjoyed the dried goods that came in our box sometimes: popcorn, cornbread mix, and a dried tomato thing that rehydrated into a delicious pesto. What could be better: More variety. We got so many potatoes and sweet potatoes that we had to constantly give half away. We got lettuce (a head or two) every week, so I had to get really creative with recipes (btw, Lettuce Soup is delicious!). However, the website says that the Crawford family would like to continue adding more crops, so I suspect that this will improve as they diversify the farm. Fewer Herbs. The herbs were a nice touch, but the portions were too large. I really struggled to use as much cilantro as was given to us, even though I put it in everything AND froze some. Same for other herbs - plenty to use, to freeze, or to dry, but really could be smaller bunches in order to be enjoyed fresh. Discount for Returners. We missed the Early Bird discount because we thought we were moving and hence couldn't renew right away. It would have been nice to get a "second season" discount as a gesture for loyalty. I would (and have!) recommend this CSA to anyone looking for organic, affordable produce in Philly. If you haven't ever tried a CSA before, you can confidently try this one!

The bright yolk, the fresh taste.. its so hard to go back. When we first began going here it was a simple road side stand with eggs, a few veggies and some local pickled products. We have watched them grow and grow and grow and grow. It's still a "roadside stand" but they offer so much. Raw milk from a local farm? Check. Fresh harvested eggs? Check. Amazing vegetables? Check. Local cheese? Check. Whoopie pies? Check. Farm fresh chicken and beef? Check. Farm fresh pork , including the best hot dogs you've had? Check. If you like to support your local farmers, if you like your food to taste like it was supposed to, you need to come here.

We've enjoyed picking our own peas, flowers, and berries so far this season.

Would recommend this organization to everyone.

Then the pandemic hit. My CSA had to find another avenue to fulfill their quota, since workplaces shut down and they could no longer support the hub-site pick-up model. I signed up for Hungry Harvest in a panic, not knowing how I would get food on my table, and I am SO GLAD I DID! HH has been fantastic! The quality of their produce is excellent. I love the flexibility of their customization option. I love the marketplace add-ons. I love having eggs delivered to my door every week. I love all the OPTIONS they provide me with. PLUS, I feel like a real do-gooder knowing I am helping reduce food waste. I am so grateful for the assurance of having a box of food delivered to my door every week. The delivery has been spot-on. The customer service is excellent. Honestly, I am over the moon about Hungry Harvest! THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO!!

It's not just the vegetables: the dairy selection is outstanding, the eggs are the best eggs I've ever used! The local cheeses on offer are like nothing you've tasted! The meats section is comprehensive. If you want to amplify your kitchen this is it. I have created some epic dinners since I've started as a member of Philly Foodworks. Yes they are a tad more expensive but the quality and freshness of having produce farm direct is worth it. I love the once a week delivery. If you're a serious cook wanting to produce "chef quality plates" become a member. Quality is assured, they stand behind what they sell. Service is top notch Check out their website.

I really enjoyed getting my produce from Philly Foodworks while living in Philadelphia. I went for…read morethe subscription box and it was almost always full of a variety of perfectly ripe fruits and veggies. Once in a while I would get something that was not as fresh, but it was very rare. Philly Foodworks is unique among csa-type distributors because they have a full online grocery store you can shop from, whether you're getting a produce box or not. I was able to get almost all of my groceries each week from Philly Foodworks with their numerous options. If you shop around, you can find really affordable items as well. Subscriptions for eggs, dairy, and meat offer further discounts. In general, I ended up spending as much, or a tad less, than I would for the same items from an actual grocery store. I only ever shopped online, but I believe they also have a store front you can go to if that option is better for you. They deliver right to your doorstep for a small fee and the actual process of getting groceries/subscriptions was always a breeze. The quality of the food cannot be overstated. Once you go direct from the farm, it's hard to go back to the tasteless big-box grocery store produce. The eggs and milk were also amazing, as was the beef. Last but not least, they're a great organization with increasing access, sustainability, and regenerative farming practices at the root of everything they do.

(This I Swear.... no one hasn't put me up to this energy. I'm responsible for the energy I give out and the vibes here are REAL STRONG!) Because... Wow! You can't get any better at great prices around for sustainable and free range pasture raised meats and cheeses. On Market Days, it turns into a farmers market collaborated with area farmers and crafters with similar mindsets. Unfortunately, this isn't regular as you really have to pay attention to their website (or antisocial media) to remember the dates during the warmer months and then sparingly into November. Most farmers are very amicable and open to answering reasonable questions as you can find out more info on the farm's buying program so you'll never be without seasonal produce and farm fresh meat year-round!

I only visited the shack where they sell a small sampling of in season produce, vegetables, milk, cheese, eggs, and honey. A dozen eggs was $5. Payment is based on the honor system since the owner can't always be there. They accept Venmo, PayPal and cash. I'd recommend not using cash unless you have exact change because you may not be able to make proper change. The driveway is gravel and there a a few parking spots. There is a big tree with swings right next to the small shack where they sell their items. I'm not sure if they let kids swing on the swings but it wouldn't hurt to ask. I saw the owner and he was helpful and pleasant to interact with.
