| - When the produce is good, the produce is good and when it is bad it is truly bad. We have shopped the farmers market stand for the entire summer and decided to give the weekly service a try. It is $30 a week, with a starter fee for the cute boxes that have your name engraved on them. I was happy to give a newer small business owner a chance, but often I got the impression that they are doing me the favor and each week I was throwing away a quarter to half the box from rot or wilting produce. I had traded the Bet on the Farm market for their box and it was just okay and highly unpredictable on produce received. At pick up, I found Tim to be friendly, he is good guy with who is well meaning. In the weekly boxes I have received amazing produce, and then I have received apples that were rotten black, a pomi that was fuzzy moldy inside and black, kiwis that were shriveled, soft bendy carrots, wilted heads of lettuce and spinach, moldy grapes, and the list goes on. Tim always did his best to make up for the bad produce at the market, but the box always contained some gross produce. A disadvantage over picking it out on your own at the market. They require that you fill out a form that says all the items you want and then make no promises to provide one of those ten requested items. Interesting concept and not exactly consumer friendly. At the store, Trish is an entitled and confrontational owner that did not impress me at all. We got into it a bit and she made some very snarky comments and behaved like she was doing me a favor for selling me produce that is often delivered moldy or wilted or ready to rot. I'm not going to deny that it super pissed me off and it took everything I had not explode at her for her aggressive posture, language, and snarky comments. Trish had told Tim that she wanted to "fire" me as a customer and I told Tim that was fine. That evening I got a message from Trish to call her. No reason for the call just to call her back. Did she really expect me to call her after our last friendly experience? Hah! Hilarious. She didn't even have the courage to leave an honest message saying that she wasn't going to deliver to the west side for my pick up anymore. OK by me. I was already waiting a few months before I was going to review them (one or two deliveries does not make for fair eval) and low and behold they drove their own review destiny with average to extremely poor service and unpredictable product. There are other fabulous options out there. I am sure some people just love this little business but as an avid local, small business shopper/supporter...I am saying that there are many better locations that have more stability in customer service, clearly label where their food is from, and offer more reliable product.
