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.

I have been a Philly foodworks customer for over three years now and it was the best decision I…read morehave ever made. I was in the market for local produce, non gmo and organic. The quality is unmatched and when I say you can taste the difference I mean. I had never tasted carrots as fresh or potato's with so much flavor. Things you don't realize when you are used to big box store imported low quality produce. It's also a huge relief to not have to worry every time there is a new listeria recall on items. This was huge for me during the cucumber and tomato's recalls two summers ago as I was pregnant and would only eat produce from Phillyfoodworks. I also appreciate the variety of other options they provide. The fresh pasta is delicious and Im a huge fan of the chicken sausages. The customer service is also great and very responsive. It's also nice to know you are supporting the community and with it receiving top notch quality items. Lastly they deliver! It is super convenient and just makes life easier.

We went searching for Dogwood Farms when we didn't see them at our local farmer's market. We were…read moreimmediately greeted by John who made us feel so welcomed on their farm.

I even picked up a bar of lemongrass & lavender soap while I was there. Ruth rang us up and answered any other questions that we had, and an itemized receipt was then emailed to me. We expect to return very soon to restock on our seasonal goods. They are open every day (M-F 2pm-6pm, S-S 10a-4p). Bring a tote bag, or you can purchase one there.

Flocktown actually delivers to your doorstep, and allows you to "shop" your weekly share while adding local partner farm products like orchard fruits, artisan cheeses, natural meats, etc. to your card. Quality is consistent, and they are quick to respond to remedy the occasional concern. It's rare that I am missing an item or not satisfied with how something arrives. They even offer a delivery hold option for vacation weeks, allowing you to carry over those credits to add extra veggies in future weeks, or even roll over as a credit to next year's membership. We've been members for several years and will continue to be. As a working mom, having a weekly supply of fresh local produce delivered right to your door, supporting sustainable and organic based farming here in the garden state, is a win-win.

This is our second year of purchasing a share from Pennypack's CSA and we have yet to be…read moredisappointed. The quality of the produce is excellent and the thought and care put into the farm is unmatched. While they are not certified organic, they practice natural, practical, and ecologically sound and sustainable farming. They have a lot of signage posted throughout the farm (as part of their education program) that explains how and why things are they way they are at the farm. They also have a boatload of dedicated volunteers and workers who keep everything running efficiently. They are happy to answer questions about the farm, the food, and often have ideas about what to do with everything. We purchased the small share and that entitles us to 6 items chosen by us from the options available that day. Last night we chose a pound of carrots, a head of lettuce, two pounds of summer squash, beets, swiss chard, and two pounds of cucumbers. Other items available include kale, bok choy, scallions, and broccoli as well as pick your own string beans and raspberries. They have an extensive herb garden where you can pick your own herbs for cooking that week. Finally, you can cut a bunch of flowers to take with you each week as a part of your share as well. This year we split our share with another family, so we go every other week for our pick up -- as a family of just two, this works out well for us! While the benefits are many (supporting local agriculture, eating local, sustainable food, health, getting outside in a garden), the CSA is a little bit of work. Each share requires a few hours of volunteer work be completed at the farm. Furthermore, when you get home with your pile of veggies, you need to clean and prep them as well as figure out recipes. They leave the vegetables generally intact with the greens and such on top. It turns out you can and should use those parts of the vegetables as well, but if you're a novice (like us) it takes some research and planning to figure out what to do with things like carrot tops and beet and turnip greens. Even though it's a lot of work, it's a fun learning experience and would definitely be a worthwhile activity to get the kids involved with. Check out their website early in the new year for information about signing up for a share -- they go fast!

Organic and sustainably grown by farming family Tom Murtha and Tricia Borneman, Blooming Glen strives to maintain and expand the rich agricultural history of Bucks County. The ideals are noble, but the proof of success comes at the dinner table -- the rainbow chard, firm-fleshed potatoes and delicate garlic purchased from these folks transform ordinary meals into special occasions. As a cook, this superlative quality is absolutely thrilling. As a shopper, the stuff is not cheap -- but local and organic never is. You're supporting not only local farmers, but helping spread the gospel of local food when you buy here. Since we haven't yet seen peak oil, I'd suggest everyone get on this train before those Chilean strawberries that you must have in January reach $29.99 a quart.

I was always so envious of those families who brought their kids and made it FUN to go find your own strawberries and cherry tomatoes. If you live near, you must buy a share! It broke my heart to hear about Tom and Tricia's harvest getting rotted after last year's unusual rainy season - I hope you will give this place a try.

It literally overtook the flavor of the doughnut. Secondly, unfortunately, the donuts were dry. Apple cider donuts are supposed to be soft, and moist in the middle, and they were just, well, dry in the middle. It definitely took away from the enjoyment of the doughnut.

Same for the bread pudding; my husband could tell that there was a fried component which made it super decadent, but it wasn't actually that sweet either!

Living Hope CSA is great because they have a close drop off location to my house, and I like supporting local farms which provide us weekly fresh organic produce free of fertilizers and pesticides. The vegetables (and fruit such as tomatoes) are DELICIOUS, but I think other CSAs give more produce each week. (We compared what we got to what our friends get from other CSAs that also do 6 items for a small share.) At one point during the summer, Living Hope CSA did email all its members to say sorry about the quality of vegetables since the weather has been hot, but I think it would have been nice if they offered credit back or a discount for future farm shares. One thing I like about this CSA is that you can pick from a list of what you will be receiving each week. (The other CSA I am comparing to does not let you pick each week.) Unfortunately, by giving the option of choice, sometimes they run out of the popular items and you get a random item instead. That's okay, but sometimes you will receive out of season vegetables. For example, I received potatoes in the middle of summer (tiny potatoes in a tiny portion). I did order potatoes later in the fall though, and they were great. Save the cool season vegetables for the cool season!
