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.

This summer will be fifth year doing Porter Farms and I love them…read more 1. 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.

They claim they have been trying to get a collegetown pickup location for years, but I really have a hard time believing this as Full Plate had no problem securing one at Stewart Ave. and Buffalo St. The vegetables are fresh and relatively inexpensive compared to other CSA's. Unfortunately, the hills in Ithaca make the pickup locations inconvenient for people who don't have a car and live up the hill.
