I've tried a variety of CSAs and farm boxes over the years, ranging from stellar to truly weak --- and Sunseed just might be my favorite. The summer greens and veggies are wholesome and still-dirty-from-the-field fresh; the winter gives a mix of storage roots and sturdy hoop-house produce. My favorites from the past year have been beets, kale, chard, romanesque (crazy fractal cauliflower), tomatoes, and cucumbers. There's definitely a Michigan cast to the selection; some months it's every bit as colorful as the Full Belly Farm box we got in Berkeley, some months it makes me think of Laura Ingalls Wilder's root cellar with a side of hoop-house lettuce. Everything's from right on the farm (unlike a "farm box" we once got that included bananas). A full share is about right for 3-4 people; we used to get a half share (a full portion each pickup, but only every other week), and we now split a full share with another couple. We haven't ended up with a freezer full of butternut squash (always a danger in Berkeley), but finishing the jalapeños while they're fresh sometimes takes planning. I usually pick up from the Friday morning Old West Side stop on Sunnyside (it's hosted in a customer's driveway); I occasionally get out to the farm itself for the Thursday afternoon distribution, which is just off Joy and makes a good dirt-road bike ride. Winter CSA in Michigan? I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but I am. read more

Sunseed Farm - Pak choi, sorrel, rutabagas, and turnips: maybe a third of this week's box. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Dexter, Michigan

So glad I've learned of the SunSeed Farm CSA! We signed on for their summer share a couple of weeks ago and are very pleased with their veggies. The kale is amazing, the spinach is huge, the freshness of everything is unmatched. I've never tasted lettuce like the lettuce I received last week, so fresh and full of flavor I've never known lettuce to have. This farm offers a year round CSA opportunity and we are anxious to experience every season with them. Signing up is super simple and prorated, so signing up now will get you a reduced rate since the weeks have now decreased. You can sign up and pay right on their website which is also full of loads of great information about their mission and how they grow the vegetables you are eating. They also follow all standards set by the National Organic Program and do not use any chemicals or substances that are not allowed under an organic certification, although they have decided not to become certified organic. You have to taste their veggies to really understand the freshness and the taste, it's unbelievably fresh. I believe when they say they strictly stick to the organic standards and am comforted to know that I am feeding my family fresh, healthy, chemical free food! I would definitely recommend a full share to anyone, even if you only have two people in your family. It's easy to go through your veggies in a week. CSA shares are structured as follows: Full Share- pick up every Thursday or Friday at your choice of two locations. Half Share- pick up every OTHER Thursday or Friday at your choice of the same two locations. We currently have a half share and I am going to try and upgrade. BEST CHOICE WE'VE MADE! Thank you SunSeed Farm. read more

I see my food as one of the most valuable parts of my "health insurance" and an invaluable key to enjoying Life. I lived in Germany for 25 years before coming to Ann Arbor, and the last three years I bought my vegetables in France, since they were the most vibrant and energy-giving vegetables I had ever eaten. Then I met Sunseed vegetables; they are more than the best I know of. I swear I can feel the love of the land put into growing them! I lived in Ann Arbor 2012-2018 and am now living in Germany again, contrary to what it says next to my name ;) read more

Best CSA I've ever participated in. And the nicest farmers I've ever met. The variety is great, the vegetables are of the best quality, and there aren't too many places where you can get fresh harvested produce in the middle of the winter. read more

Incredible attention to best quality staples and occasional more exotic items thrown in. Sunseed's share has changed how our family eats. The winter share has continued to improve despite two very rough seasons in a row. Beautiful, sweet spinach, fragrant bok choy (great in omlettes!), sweetest carrots on earth, and -- our favorites -- just great, pure, healthy potatoes free from chemicals. With spring starting I can't wait for the amazing lettuce, garlic scapes, and more. It's always a privilege to eat Tom and Tribly's food. read more

We first visited Sunseed farms at a hoophouse build 4 years ago. We were so taken with the friendliness of Tomm and Trilby, their farmer co-workers and the beauty of the place that we signed up for shares. Since then we have been through many seasons of fresh flowers and produce from them, always a joy to see the vitality and colors of everyhting that they bring for our table! It feels like going to a community gathering when you pick up your shares,too. Seeing people and sharing stories as we bag up our goodies. It is extremely satisfying to know that we are providing such healthy, fresh food for our kids AND supporting a wonderful local farm and family. Five stars! Selena Lucas read more

I have been a year-round CSA member of Sunseed for 4 years now. Yes, year-round. It's amazing to have locally, consciously grown vegetables throughout the year. It's wonderful to be able to eat in accordance with the seasons. We can get almost anything we want at the grocery store at any time of the year, but eating what's "in season" locally feels like a much more sustainable and harmonious way to live with the earth. I also eat and try vegetables that I wouldn't otherwise so I have expanded my diet and knowledge of roots, shoots and leaves. The other reviews speak to the beauty and bounty of the vegetables so I'll just say *ditto* to that. I split the share with a friend of mine and that has worked out well in terms of receiving a quantity of veggies that I will and can eat in a week. And Tomm and Trilby, the couple who run this farm and the CSA, are the sweetest couple. Joining Sunseed has given me a sense of community in Ann Arbor I wouldn't have had otherwise. read more
