Here's what our past members have had to say...

Our CSA sells out every year. For good reason.

Here’s what some of our past CSA members have had to say:

"Andres and I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful CSA season.  I've belonged to two other CSAs in the past - one in Boston and one here in Philadelphia with Dancing Hen Farm - and I can't tell you how much more I enjoyed the CSA with greensgrow.  I appeciated your efforts in choosing vegetables/other foods that people were most likely to want and know how to cook.  It's fun to get an occasional something obscure, but it gets to be too much when you can't identify three of your vegetables each week.  And we REALLY loved getting meat/eggs/cheese as part of the CSA.  It worked much better for us than just receiving vegetables, as we had in the past.We look forward to purchasing a full share next year instead of a half share. "

"We are always raving about Greensgrow and recommending it to others. It must be the best CSA around."

"I really enjoy so many aspects of the CSA - the sense of community, seeing friends at Greensgrow, shopping in the nursery, getting fresh produce and especially trying new veggies and new recipes."

"To me, Greensgrow is a miracle of abundance in a city hungry for local fresh foods and a sustainable economy. "

"I really enjoyed being a member this year. It was my first experience with the CSA, and it opened my eyes to a new way of experiencing food, while appreciating and supporting the local scene."

"The CSA is one of the gems of Philadelphia. The range of types of foods is brilliant, and unlike any CSA I've known before. Plus, in addition to providing a great service, you are all so nice! It was a real pleasure to pick up our share every week."

"I think the best part about the CSA is it forced us to cook real meals. After a long day it's awfully tempting to order out or crack open a can of soup, but when you've got fresh meat or produce that you don't want to waste, you're forced to do something with it. We had so many lovely meals that we never would have attempted if it weren't for the CSA share calling out from the fridge."

 

Eat well. Eat local.
