I realize there are some mixed reviews here, but my experience with Skarsgard has been thrilling. My produce is quality & fresh, many of their partnerships are local, and regional products include a description of the producer so you can see exactly where your food came from! I have been combing through their online ordering shop and am making my list of all the enticing options I plan to include in my upcoming orders (including their very own prepared local foods, like meal kits and grab-and-go options centered around seasonal produce). Their butcher shop offers NM grass fed beef, Kyzer farms pork, pasture raised chicken, and other pasture goodies. Local milks & alternatives. Fresh juice bar products, Michael Thomas Coffee, New Mexico Ferments Kombucha, Tea.o.graphy tea, in house made bakery noshes as well as other baked tempatations from Swiss Alps, Wolfe's Bagels, and Pastian's bakery. This service is exactly what I needed...I honestly have begun to loathe going into most public spaces these days, having access to this operation is very exciting for our family. The delivery was all that I'd hoped for. Gratitude Abundance Skarsgard Farms, I am so looking forward to our future orders... read more

See all

I had ordered from Skarsgard when they were called Los Poblanos. This was over 10 yrs ago. They went through several transitions of how they made produce available here in Southern NM... from having a delivery van drive down here door to door, to sending it down and distributing it from a local farm, to distributing it from a local co-op. Finally, just before they stopped delivery down here altogether, we just stopped ordering because 1) The produce was not always fresh, and, most importantly 2) They often substituted produce, even though I had opted to not take substitutions. Now, under the Skarsgard name, and after the worst of Covid (so we hope), they are distributing to Southern NM again (all of NM, actually), via UPS overnight shipping. Currently, I have to say, that although shipping is more expensive than in the past, that this system seems to work better. Food comes in a cardboard box with insulation and a cold pack. Although there was only one small cold pack (no cold pack the first time :O ), the pack was still cold (not totally solid, but icy), and the food came cold. And for those concerned about the environment, all of the shipping packaging is recyclable. I am more into pre-made, ready to eat, meals these days (short on time and exhausted at the end of the day!), and their pre-made meals are pretty good, if not a little small and pricey. If you want foods without all the additives and extra salt, and are willing to pay the price, then this is a good option. The beef empanadas, smoked enchiladas, beef enchiladas, lasagna and parmesan chicken were good from frozen. Although the Parm chkn did have "hidden" msg derivatives (google "hidden msg"), my bad for not looking closer at the ingredients which are clearly listed on their page. Their meatloaf and potatoes were pretty good. The Skarsgard branded jarred red chile sauce is TDF! Not too watery and perfect! Substitutions? Have not been a problem, yet. They list the quantities of items and when they run out, they no longer take any orders. If you want substitutions (I guess in case something goes wrong), you may opt to do so when you set up your account, and when you order. As for them being a "distributor only", as one reviewer wrote, they DO distribute organic produce from other sources that they partner with, but some produce IS grown on their farm. You won't find oranges grown in NM, so naturally these are from another farm! The prepared foods are made in house under their division known as "The Stand". Good to see things from the past that they still carry, such as the Tucumcari Mountain Cheese selection and Sage Bakery Sourdough bread (THE best!). And for those who are upset about items from Santa Fe, claiming that that is not local... (eye roll), of course Santa Fe is local!!! Geese, it's only 60 miles away! Albuq and Santa Fe are a metropolis. Just like Las Cruces and El Paso. El Paso is local to us, as SF is local to Albuq. When you can drive from one place to the other with refrigerated or frozen items and they are still cold at the other end, it is local! Same with warm foods. And believe you me, I've done the trips (both) several times! Get over yourselves. Jeese, even Tucumcari is local when you live in New Mexico (forget hot or cold food tho, but just cus!)! read more

When I opened my first box I smiled. So they had me at "hello." Eyes wide open, I took in the fresh sourdough bread, beefsteak tomatoes, butter lettuce from Silver Leaf farms in Corrales and peach wood smoked maple bacon. A BLT was in my future. Even the gyro meal kit brown butter chocolate chip cookie were calling my name. But I knew I had all week to enjoy everything. I never smiled at my groceries or produce from any local grocer-ever. Way to go Skarsgard Farms! read more

I used to get deliveries from Skarsgard Farms for years. Then Whole Foods began to deliver to my area. Whole Foods has a lot more variety and Skarsgard Farms has less variety than ever. Their organic produce doesn't even fill one page. It used to be about three pages. It looks to me like they've become a middleman that sells things produced by somebody else. The burritos come from the Frontier, they have a bunch of stuff made by Tullys but it doesn't look like they make much themselves anymore unless it's pastries. Or maybe the soups and the green chili stew but it's just not enough. I wrote to them about this before and they said they were moving to a new location at the time and this is months ago. I don't see how I'll ever be able to order from them again. Not only does Whole Foods have more variety but they deliver to my area on whatever day I choose. I'd like to buy local but they're gonna have to step up their game if they want to compete. read more

I've known about Skarsgard Farms delivery service for quite some time. But not until I saw they were offering Colorado peaches did I place my first order. (I have to say that the poor quality of produce in grocery stores has me searching for alternatives, including growing my own vegetables.) I placed a pretty good size order for peaches and they arrived in PERFECT condition. They were carefully packed, not a single bruise on any of them. They were picked at the perfect time because when they arrived, I found one ready to eat but the others needed just a couple days before reaching ultimate ripeness. Having these wonderful peaches at my doorstep made me feel like a kid again---back when fruit was tasty and local! read more

Don't forget to taste your food. It's easy to do when food consumption is just a constant where everything looks and tastes the same. I was happy when my kids asked, "Why does this tomato look different?" They thought all tomatoes looked exactly the same with identical perfect round form and the uniform Crayola red color, which is actually a great leap forward from the generation who thought all tomatoes came from cans! You pay $35-$75 online and they drop off the box in a cooler. We got all veggies, but there are eggs, cheese, meats etc. It's real simplelike. But on the other hand you aren't just paying more for vegetables that are cheaper elsewhere. This is about purchasing a version of reality where foods look and taste different and four companies don't have a monopoly on 85% of the food supply. You're paying for privilege of knowing the back story of your dinner. Food is an important thing. Skarsgard helps you remember that. read more

Skarsgard Farms - August box - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This business is clearly trying to find its stride, and with that comes some operational bumps. In a market of increasingly expanding options when it comes to home food delivery, this local option intrigued me. It was recommended to me by a friend who has been using it for a month now and has thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of supporting local businesses, and a big fan of my food being fresh, so i wanted to give it a try. I had some initial issues with the website glitching my account, and the response time to my inquiry about this issue was slow (in comparison to larger businesses) However, once addressed the issue was fixed quickly and efficiently. Overall it was an experience that did not inhibit my enjoyment of shopping their website. Once I put in my order and signed up for the overnight drop off I could not find my order in in the morning, because it was delivered to my neighbor's house. Because of this it spent more time on the porch and more time out of the refrigerator than I would have preferred. I was given a discount on the delivery and notes were made on my account so that the right house could be found next time. I live in a home/neighborhood that really shouldn't require special instructions, but response time to this issue was quick and efficient. The produce weve used so far is exceptional. My daughter ate a whole tomato, like an apple, and wanted more. I was disappointed to find the bacon packaged in New Jersey (that's quite a stretch on "regional") but everything else has been fantastic. I will order again. What they lack right now in organization is made up for in quality and knowing we're supporting local. read more

I placed an order with Skarsgard Farms after a neighbor recommended them. Although I ordered online nearly a week ago and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, my food didn't arrive. Because I was out shopping for groceries Wednesday, I could have purchased all these much needed items from Trader Joes. Instead I'll have to risk my health again today to go out and see what I can find of my most necessary food items like bread, milk and eggs. Skarsgard isn't answering the phone (the message box is full) and doesn't respond to e-mail. The phone message says Thursday customers will get their food Friday or Saturday. No! I want a refund because I need everything on my order now. Although I understand the excessive demand created by Covid 19 and the need to keep your staff healthy, your lack of response and lack of ability to deliver items order many days ago is intolerable. Delaying delivery of orders to other days without calling the customer is unacceptable. Of course most of us will make other plans and will not longer need what you deliver. read more

Not only has food been of poor quality for most of my time purchasing it, but now orders are not coming even though they are charging for them. They've taken almost 200 dollars from me now without delivering food. Right now when we need it most, someone is either stealing our food or they decided it was easier to not send out orders. I guess I'll never know. For what it's worth, we canceled in the past and just started up again while staying at home. Going to cancel again now that we're not getting anything at all. Hopefully we can get the money back to spend elsewhere. Good luck if you choose to order from skarsgard. read more

I was hoping to find local farm fresh fruit and vegetables. This is a distributor at best. I ordered my first order and almost 1/2 of what I received was spoiled. Almost all items had produce stickers from Mexico or out if state. NOT LOCAL They were quick to credit my account for the items that were bad however nothing I ordered lasted even 2 days. All was moldy or spoiled within 48 hours so could not have been fresh. Took a chance and irdered 1 large and 2 small pies the next week. The large peach pie looks and tastes like it's made with peach preserves. Horrible and in the trash. Received only 1 of the 2 apple pies and they are made in Santa Fe. Not local. I've closed my account and will not go back. Sad really, was hoping for a true local farm. read more

What happened Skarsgard? We used to be close...before the pandemic. Now, I have been ghosted, over-charged, left wondering...why? Sadly, I have not only discontinued my current deliveries, but I will never come back. read more

We started doing Skarsgard this summer and love it! We started with just the harvest boxes and then quickly realized it would actually save us money to buy as much from them as possible. Their meat is definitely worth the extra money you spend, we noticed a huge difference in taste in the chicken breasts especially. It's nice because you can order a large harvest box, and swap out some of the veggies for items like tortillas, salad dressing, eggs, milk, etc. It's just me and my husband, but we typically do a medium or large harvest box 2 times a month, and small the alternate times. We're spending $40-50 a week, and only going to the grocery store for a few extra items once a month. The only downsides are the occasional poor quality of some items (mostly leafy greens), the occasional missing item or item that ran out, and the sporadic delivery times. Some days our box arrives at 9 am, and some days its at 5 pm. read more

We've been ordering from Skarsgard for about a month and absolutely love it. They fill the CSA niche definitely, but take it a step further by offering an impressive range of high quality groceries - competitively priced, organic, local when possible, totally flexible week to week, and delivered to your door. It's slashed our time in the grocery store by half. I'm fighting breast cancer and need to eat as cleanly as possible to kick this thing in its butt. Lots of trips to the store aren't possible, so Skarsgard is a total godsend. Will definitely continue with them after treatment. read more

Skarsgard Farms - Harvest box plus some extra goodies. - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I just had a really bad customer service experience with them. The food they delivered was good, but it ended up being too much for one person. I stopped delivery back in 2015. However, I still had their cooler. I should have called to have it picked up, but it just escaped my mind until a couple of months ago. And they never contacted me about returning it. Since I cannot drive due to medical reasons, I had a friend drop off the cooler at their office. I just called them to find out about my $20 deposit being returned, and was told they had no way of identifying the cooler so they don't know if it was returned. Therefore they cannot give my $20 deposit back. The person I spoke to was absolutely of no help, and quite frankly, I felt like I was being called a liar. She didn't even offer to research it or ask staff about it Someone in their office dropped the ball when the cooler was returned, since they did not identify it or credit my account. And I'm out $20. I've had a lot of customer service training and this is absolutely not the way to handle a situation. So if you ever need customer service help, good luck. read more

We have been receiving baskets from Skarsgard and have been so pleased with their service. No complaints at this time.

The one option we could find for a local CSA that delivered. First time they delivered to the wrong address. The fruit and veggies vary in quality, but overall were good, with good substitution offerings from the standard set for the week. It's not cheap, but convenient. Milk, eggs, creamer, and other fresh items were good. read more

I have been ordering for delivery to my office for about 2 years! Love the annual membership allowing for same day delivery. Everything is farm fresh which means I expect imperfections. I am 100% against factory farming and love that in Albuquerque I can have many alternative choices and home delivery farm to table style is amazing! The prices are comparable and I am supporting local growing! I really appreciate this service! I also love eating in the season! Thanks Monte!!! read more

Overall the food/produce is great. It can be a little pricey for certain items but I like the fact they deliver. Overall I would recommend them! read more

Pros: includes local food, it's a locally owned business, convenient home delivery, organic, you can customize what you get in your delivery, there is a variety of options to choose, online ordering available, products usually good quality/condition (although not 100%; I had food spoil within a day of receiving my order, which makes me question the consistency of the freshness), customer service responds quickly. CONS (what led me to stop participating in this service): misleading advertising!! There is allegedly "free" delivery in the cities that they serve, but this is not the case. There should be a dozen asterisks after the word "free" on all of their publicity. Their website claims that "...each facet of what we do helps our entire community thrive!", but the word "entire" should also have an asterisk. So it's free if you place a minimum order of $36, UNLESS you live in certain zip codes considered "outliers", in which case you must order at least $50. Which zip codes would those be, might you ask? In Albuquerque, they are the south valley zip codes, even if your house is a 10 minute drive from downtown and in the same area as where they brag about farming. Supposedly, they are all about supporting local agriculture and communities, but you'd either get charged a $5 "outlier fee" for delivery or have to buy $15 more than someone in a different part of town. I have many friends in the outlier zip codes who have chosen not to use Skarsgard for this very reason--both the cost aspect and on principle. If the company is willing to deliver for free to other cities outside of NM like Phoenix and El Paso, it seems unfair to charge extra to people living in the same part of town where the farm is located, even if the warehouse is located in a different part of Albq. So someone in the far NE heights or Santa Fe pays nothing for delivery and has a lower minimum order requirement, but someone in the south valley pays extra? This is a "business decision", apparently because the people in these zip codes are less significant customers and providing access to local, organic, home delivered food for these communities is less of a priority to the leadership at Skarsgard. You might wonder if your zip code is an "outlier" zip code. The only way for you to find out is to go through the trouble of creating an account on their website and start shopping, only to find out once you're about to complete your order and you find an "outlier" fee tacked onto your price. Maybe this doesn't apply to you because you live in Nob Hill, or Santa Fe, or some other place that is not considered an "outlier" zip code. But even so, this business practice should still bother you since it primarily impacts the parts of Albuquerque with lower median incomes--doesn't seem fair that a rural, more socioeconomically disadvantaged region would have to be even more exploited by a so-called progressive agricultural community-friendly company. Instead, there is a degree of arrogance that gets conveyed in communications from the owner and in the policies that make a profit on the whole local/organic movement while keeping historically agrarian communities in a lower position by charging them fees that are not charged to anyone else. Disappointing, to say the least. I have taken my business elsewhere. read more

Beware. I thought this home delivery concept would be a wonderful and convenient service. Unfortunately I am very disappointed. The quality of the produce is unacceptably inconsistent, especially considering the remarkably high cost. I also had problems with them overcharging for the cooler deposits. I requested that they stop my service and pick up the delivery cooler. They picked up the cooler within two days, but it is over a month later and I still have not received my cooler deposit refund. I have made multiple refund requests by email and telephone which have been ignored. I have not been able to reach a live person at their published phone number. I do not recommend this company. read more

I adore Skarsgard Farms. My favorite is the Pink Lady apples. You can definately taste the difference between a grocery store organic Pink Lady apple and a Skarsgard organic Pink Lady apple. The ones from Skarsgard tastes like candy! It's absolutely sweeter and much more flavorful. The rest of the selection has always been great. Yes it's more expensive than your Sprouts but the quality is definately higher and you just can't beat the convenience of front door delivery. If you need it right away then run to Sprouts but if you can wait for the delivery of a boxful of fresh organic goodies then just wait. Also, customer service has always been excellent. If you get the wrong products or it doesn't seem the best just e-mail them and they always will fix it. read more
