A lovely selection of freshly picked produce in a handsome well packed box (offering old favourites and introducing new friends), delivered right to my front door. And it's ORGANIC! Best of the best! If I'm not sure where to store something, I look on the FFTY website. If I don't know how to prepare something, I look for recipes on the FFTY website. If there's something I really would rather not have in my box (such as tomatoes right now as I grow my own), I just go to the FFTY website and put them on my exclusion list. And I'm supporting California agriculture! I'm in produce heaven! Thank you Farm Fresh!!pyewackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09821292725617607278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259108906309966757.post-65052788966570824452011-09-04T23:38:56.523-07:002011-09-04T23:38:56.523-07:00I love not having to haul groceries up the hill so...I love not having to haul groceries up the hill so often even though it's good exercise.

Before this journey, we ate like everyone else, non-organic and then something happened, we noticed that food tasted different! Wait... Food tasted like something, not processed, not dead sitting on a shelf, not filled with water, but now what we were eating had flavor! I am so happy when the box arrives and look forward to learning to cook and share with friends and family! Our friends notice the flavors and I love talking about the big box that shows up on the doorstep and makes me smile!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717530923383453283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259108906309966757.post-56689000237699910152011-09-04T22:00:38.926-07:002011-09-04T22:00:38.926-07:00I love CSA for many reasons... one - the weekly d...I love CSA for many reasons... one - the weekly delivery is like "Merry Christmas meets Iron Chef". I get to receive a box of goodies and give me solar power when I eat it's contents. another - I came to southern calif in the mid 60's when it still had so much farm land and it stings that people value convenience stores more than the cycle of life in farming. three - I love that this is a second generation farm that has survived the last few decades.... four - Thaddeus's newletters remind me of one of my great life mentors, Brian Murray at Westwood Flower Garden... His customers not only got pretty flowers and plants but a bit of an education about what it took to have quality cultivated and delivered. I enjoy the spirit of your business as it makes for a wholistic life. Bless you all! Thank you All. Great All - Thank you for the sun, rain, kale and bless the hands and hearts of everyone who touches my good eats from seed to plate... and the lives and loves of those that they tough as well.

Every year my classroom cooks recipes from the box that we receive and the children are able to see what comes from a farm is not only healthy but can be a yummy side dish, main course, or a delicious dessert! They are just as excited to open the box as I am because they know they are going to the Food Lab to make something very tasty!Stefanie Atkissonhttp://www.victor.tusd.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259108906309966757.post-72799467704698644612011-09-04T19:25:55.341-07:002011-09-04T19:25:55.341-07:00Knowing we're eating the healthiest food and s...Knowing we're eating the healthiest food and supporting the providers of that food is priceless.

Raised in Germany where either public transportation, my bike or feet got me around, LA was a daunting place to live in initially, esp. when my local farmers' market here in L.A. set up shop somewhere else. Home delivery from nearby farms seemed to be the only good choice. I can participate in the regional & seasonal, thus keep my body healthy, and my mind at ease, b/c environmentally I support our beautiful blue green world. It's the most precious we've got.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259108906309966757.post-4161316105089324282011-09-04T14:57:23.495-07:002011-09-04T14:57:23.495-07:00we love that it makes us try new fruits and veggie...we love that it makes us try new fruits and veggies and that things are sooooo fresh.lisakoliebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666481939785197982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259108906309966757.post-23980380106674707052011-09-04T14:56:14.115-07:002011-09-04T14:56:14.115-07:00We love trying new fruits and veggies and eating t...We love trying new fruits and veggies and eating things we can't find in the local store.

However, my favorite thing is sitting down and reading the weekly letter from Thaddeus to my kids. Each week they wait to hear what "our farmer" has been doing.
