Best price per pound of any CSA, by a long shot. $330 gets you five months of brown paper bags brimming with organic veggies. 2. Tons of pickup locations, so you can get it anywhere. 3. Just about everything is regular main stream veggies - lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions, spinach, zucchini, winter squash, etc. Except for the kohlrabi, I knew what everything was the first time I saw it. 4. Melons are included. Most CSA's have no fruit or it is a separate fee. They are working on some orchards, too. 5. The pick up locations are people's porches, so the veggies arrive and you can get them at your leisure. Depending on your pick-up site, you can get them as late as Sunday morning, which is great if you're gone for the weekend. Our host even puts it in the fridge if you let her know ahead of time and puts it back out at the pre-arranged time. 6. You get to visit the farm once to pick up all the vegetables for your group. The farm is great to see, you meet some Porters, can see their sheep AND you get to pick from whatever extra produce they have that week that didn't divide evenly among the shares. 7. To date, they have never run out of share. You can sign up last minute where as most other shares sell out months ahead of time. 8. There is an early bird discount if you sign up before April 15. Pick up is Saturday after 11am, which is a pro for some and con for others. Sometimes they post the veggies ahead of time which is nice if you were planning a trip to the farmers market before you pick up. If I were to make one change, it would be to allow people to skip a week and make it up later which Native Offerings does. I've got no complaints. I love this CSA. Your pick-up location might not have great parking, but you can't blame the farm. You can get a free guest bag if you want to test it out. Info is on the website.

By the time I got in the car and noticed it but by then there were at least 12 customers in line. I had already stood in line for at least 15 minutes with only 3 customers ahead of me. Ok not a big deal but still, I am there at least once a week. I emailed them and explained the situation and gave them my information. A couple days later I received a response and they credited my card with $3.38 along with an apology! Talk about EXCELLENT customer service. By the way, their asparagus and strawberries are incredible! Going back again tomorrow for more stuff including berries. Keep up this great work.

Officially all in for the spring share with this local CSA. It makes eating local produce that much…read moreeasier since I can't always get to the market. The CSA features produce from local farms, many are organic too. They break it out in seasons and now offering year-round options. For the spring share, I paid in full to reserve a weekly share with pick up at Three Heads Brewing - $64 for 4 weeks ($16 per week). They have several other pick up locations, days, times, and even delivery. I opted for the small share, which is good for 1-2 people for a week. So far I've enjoyed making recipes with a few ingredients I've never worked with before like green garlic, rhubarb, beets, etc. That's the most enjoyable part for me - the challenge of cooking with something new and going outside my comfort zone in the kitchen with new veggies and getting creative. In their weekly emails, they'll break down what types of veggies you'll be getting that week as well as recipes they've compiled on Pinterest, which is handy! In addition to the veggie shares, they have several other options you can add one, including eggs, meats (chicken, beef, pork, duck), fruits, veggie burgers, bread, yogurt, and coffee (they partner with Fuego and Joe Bean). I haven't opted in for any of these yet, but am intrigued and may consider it down the road to try more local meats, eggs, etc.

I am really excited about the fall selection. Our first fall delivery had a great variety of (mostly) vegetables and some fruit. Everything was so fresh, and the portions were perfect. The price is well worth what you get. They have a number of pick up locations that service the Rochester area, and a variety of private and open-to-public pre-box drop off sites. I think it's a great opportunity to really support local growers, and I'm excited that the food is coming to me for the next few weeks.

Ok first of all, some housekeeping: The address listed for this business is for Abundance…read moreCooperative Market. This is the pick up location for Rochester members. Peacework Farm is located in Newark, that is where the crops are grown. I was only involved in this CSA for one year, but it was a great experience and would recommend it to anyone who loves their organic veggies, is interested in knowing where their food comes from, or is interested in investing in a local farm. (There are only two reasons why I did not participate again after the first year and those are the same reasons why I haven't participated in any other local CSA-- first of all you get a lot of veggies, even if you get a half share-- normally this would be awesome but I have a small sized fridge and each week the haul would over flow it. The other reason is that I am not around as much in the summer to pick up my share. Neither reason reflects poorly on GVOCSA... in fact that is a testament to how large your pick up will be.) GVOCSA requires members to participate in a few farm-work and distribution shifts during the season. This might not be for everyone, but I thought it was cool to help harvest the vegetables and to get a closer look at the farm operation. The type of work you will do varies depending when you go during the season. The distribution shifts are pretty simple-- you go to Abundance and help prepare the vegetables to be picked up. That part is pretty easy, just some weighing and bagging. The spread of vegetables you get is great. I learned to love some new greens through this CSA. The season is 26 weeks. The price looks steep initially, but if you break it out by week it is not too bad, especially when you consider what the same volume of organic veggies would cost you at Wegmans. The quality of the produce you will get from here is really great, if you work a sorting shift at the farm you will see what I mean. A lot of care is put into getting the vegetables from the farm to the members in great condition. I think the main difference for GVOCSA versus other local CSAs is that they have the member participation. Also, everyone I came in contact with through the CSA was really nice, so you can count on working your few shifts with some great people. Their webpage has a lot of other useful information on it and if you are interested you should probably go to their new member information meeting that are held just before the sign up period.
