When I was a subscriber I truly felt like I was connected with the farmers, not just a business but families. I loved the variety and miss the dried fruits, eggs and meat options that I could add to my order. Yes sometimes you end up getting carrots and leafy greens every week, that's because it's carrot and leafy green season. Be it too little or too much rain, pests or other reasons - you're connected and see first hand how everything affects and interacts with the food the farmers labor over. The supermarket has spoiled us, variety all the time is not natural, we have seasons but we ignore this and ship what we want when we want. On a positive spin, we now have tons of carrot recipes. We received a peck each week and visited our local farmers market to supplement. our order. It's easy once it becomes routine. And check out the area's Hoe's Down Festival each October at one of the participating farms (Full Belly). Here you'll get an opportunity to meet the people that make it all happen, tour the farm and see where it all comes from.

I was super-bummed when the Capay Valley Farm Shop in Vacaville shut down several years ago, but…read moresince its closure I've been on their mailing list and that's how I heard about the Farm Shop's Farmshares/CSA program. I've been participating in the CSA since last winter and I'm a huge fan! However, an important distinction I need to begin this review with is that this CSA is NOT the same program as the "Farm Fresh to You" CSA run by Capay Organic, which a lot of Yelpers have already reviewed. I prefer the Farm Shop's CSA over the FFTY program for quite a few reasons, but here are the key differences you need to know about the two when looking for the right CSA for you and your food habits: FFTY delivers directly to your home or office, whereas the Farm Shop CSA program requires that you pick up your produce from a local drop-off point. You do end up paying for the convenience of this direct delivery: FFTY charges $31.50 for a "Regular" size box of nine different fruits and vegetables, whereas the Farm Shop CSA charges $27 for their "Bushel," which has eleven items. Portion-wise there isn't much difference, and my drop-off point is only a couple minutes drive from where I work so having home delivery isn't important to me. FFTY has more "size" options for their deliveries; the Farm Shop has just two choices: the smaller "Peck" ($18 for seven items) and the aforementioned Bushel. FFTY, as far as I can tell, sources its produce from just one farm (Capay Organic). The Farm Shop CSA program on the other hand sources its produce (plus optional add-on goodies like olive oil, nuts, dried fruit, etc.) from a pretty awesome collaborative of Capay Valley farms, including Durst, Full Belly, Good Humus, and Riverdog. FFTY allows you to customize your orders so that you can have more fruit than veggies in your CSA delivery, or more veggies, or all fruit/all veggies. With the Capay CSA program on the other hand, what you get is what you get. There is no customizing or picking and choosing your produce. It is a TRUE CSA where you take what you are given based on the season, the vagaries of the local weather, and availability. Perhaps because it is based on a collaborative of many farms, the Farm Shop CSA program has a spectular feature that FFTY does not have: it allows you to add on other goodies besides produce to your CSA deliveries. As a mostly-vegan I'm not interested in the pasture-raised eggs or Riverdog Farms' naturally raised chicken and pork, but I looooove Taber Ranch's olive oil, the dried fruit from Good Humus, and the raw nuts and dried onions from Full Belly. If you're interested in trying out a CSA, definitely give the Capay Valley Farm Shop's program a try! You can check their website to see if there is a drop-off point near you; if there is, it's pretty easy to get started. Probably the hardest part of this CSA for most people will be the "what you get is what you get" nature of each delivery, but that's what a CSA should be all about, to be quite honest. I actually like that aspect of the program: it did get hard in the winter to deal with chard, chard, chard and more chard, but being forced to try new fruits and vegetables has helped me broaden my palate even further as well as sharpen my cooking skills and expand my repertoire.Thanks to this CSA I've learned that I love celeriac grated and fried in a skillet like hash browns, that there is nothing better in summer than a just-picked boysenberry, and that I can cook delicata squash for lunch in the toaster oven at work. I have the "Bushel" delivered to me every other week. For one person it works out well: I usually go into a frenzy of cooking the first two days after getting my delivery but my time investment in the kitchen for the rest of the fortnight is pretty normal. By the time the next delivery rolls around I've finished nearly everything from the previous delivery, perhaps save for some of the harder root vegetables. I did consider doing the smaller "Peck" on a weekly basis but I prefer the greater variety of the Bushel. My last Bushel consisted of the following: Roma Tomatoes, Slicer Tomatoes (Durst Organic Growers); Chioggia Beets, Padron/Shishito Peppers, Yellow Crookneck Squash (Full Belly Farm); Suncrest Peaches (Good Humus Produce); and French Fingerling Potatoes, Green Curly Kale, Green Slicing Cucumbers, Red Torpedo Onion, Savoy Cabbage (Riverdog Farm). Most of the Roma tomatoes, cukes, and onion went into making a really good panzanella; the slicer tomatoes went into sandwiches; the beets were roasted off in the oven and plopped onto salads; and the peaches got eaten as soon as I got the box home and gave them a quick wash. I still have a week left before my next delivery and all I have left to make use of are three of the torpedo onions, half the kale and cabbage, and the potatoes. Wow, I actually almost ran out of review space! I'll end this by saying thanks, Farm Shop! Can't wait for my next CSA box!

When I first walked in I was like a deer in headlights... that's how overwhelming selection is. Beer, clothes, party do-dads, necessities and on and on. Even spotted a hot glue gun - who stocks that sort of thing? Top quality products - lithium ion batteries and Life Water. Fancy name brand Microban disinfectant spray - that lasts 24 hours. I think the person responsible for stocking the store does an outstanding job. Prices are very fair. I don't think you could find Borax for less... and the 24hour disinfectant spray I've seen for a few dollars more at Office Max. The staff is the best. I'm a very needy shopper and Raja immediately helped me out while juggling her other responsibilities. I'm not really good at shopping so I usually need special help. The batteries were for my keyfob so I don't have to use the key code on the door or stuff the key in a special spot under the armrest to start the car. The Borax I use to clean grease off my hands - no, no I don't need any of that fru fru lotion bar stuff. Usually when I go shopping I forget all about why I go in the first place as I wander aimlessly and get distracted by all whats around. This time around I needed some masks - and those worked out well too. Will come back again - maybe grab that glue gun. Not sure what I need it for but it might be really comforting to have that on hand.
