Our family is in the midst of our third season with Early Morning Farm, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. The quality of all of the produce is always top-notch and the variety mind-boggling - just last week we were thrilled (and a bit overwhelmed) to be able to select from at least 5 different varieties of hot peppers. And with the exception of a few labor-intensive or scarce items (berries & melons, for example) quantities are limited only to what you or your family will consume over the course of the week. If larger quantities are needed for canning or the like, however, additional produce is often available for pre-order at very reasonable prices.
Because we pick up our share at the Ithaca Farmers' Market, everything available for retail sale is also available to CSA members. This is in sharp contrast with the first CSA that we joined in Ithaca, which consistently offered items for sale at market that were not included in the weekly CSA share.
Anton is a pleasure to deal with, always replies promptly to email and takes pains to accommodate reasonable special requests such as schedule changes for pick ups. His crew always has a smile and a kind word, and clearly take pride in their hard work.
We are already fortunate to have what is arguably one of the country's best farmers' markets available to us, but our weekly shopping trip just wouldn't be the same without Early Morning. read more
