Veggie lovers say
“It’s worth it just for the tomatoes. ” - Carla, Keene, NH
"I was overwhelmed with the quantity, quality, and the unique variety of your vegetables. It is unparalleled. The herbs were delicious and graced my home with wonderful aromas. I looked forward to daily treats of your cherry tomatoes - my favorite." - Gerry G., Keene NH
"Thank you so much for another great CSA season! The kids loved coming to the farm and seeing you. They seem to have an appreciation for the food you provide and have a child’s sense of the work you put in. Your farm is a blessing and you came up several times during our dinner time 'thankfuls'." - Emily, Westmoreland NH
"I am really enjoying all the new food experiences this summer, thanks to your wonderful veggies! Never in my 76 years, have I made tomato soup from scratch (it was delicious), made egg/chard burritos, seen a kohlrabi (my neighbor, also a CSA member, told me how to eat it), eaten soybeans for a snack, made cabbage/carrot slaw, or used bok choy in a stir fry . . . so thank you for opening up a new world! Can't wait for the fall treasures too!” - Nancy P., Keene, NH
"I love the CSA because you become inventive, experimental with your cooking. I am much more creative with my cooking now." - Nancy R., Keene, NH
"It's not the tomatoes in my life, it's the life in my tomatoes! Thank you, my farmers!” - Susan, Marlborough, NH
“There must be magic in those vegetables. Our two-year-old ate nothing but a plateful of Brussels sprouts for dinner.” (Farmer Comment: Clearly our horse Moon agrees with this statement, as you see in the middle photo above!) - Lisabeth, Keene, NH
“Thank you for a great season! Some of the dishes we've been enjoying lately from the produce are: potato leek soup, cabbage roll soup (made with tomato sauce made earlier in the season and frozen), roasted sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with bacon, and ginger-beet-coconut milk soup (we make a lot of soups!). As always, we enjoy cooking with food that we know is local, healthy, and supports our farmer neighbors. And our three-year-old is starting to eat more vegetables, too. He calls chard ‘Swiss charge’ and says he likes orange vegetables better than green ones, but I think the fact that he sees so many veggies and eats at least some of them is a big win!” -Gretchen, Walpole, NH
"With the CSA season coming to a close, I recently had to buy some veggies from the supermarket. I went to get a few different items but left with only one. I refused to buy the tired, dried out stuff that was on the shelf. Thank you for spoiling us with fresh organic vegetables. The harvest this past year was excellent. Thanks to all three of you for your hard work!" - Tom, Westmoreland, NH
“The kale is divine. I crave it!” - Marguerite, Swanzey, NH
“We were thrilled with the quality and the quantity of the food. It is well worth the money.” - DeeDee, Westmoreland, NH
“The carrots were so sweet and delicious, it was hard to keep from eating them all in the car on the way home. Luckily, there were so many!” - David, Keene, NH
"The opportunity for my children to have a direct experience of where their food comes from and a relationship with the farmers who grow it, along with an experience of the earth, helps make living in town more possible for us." - Adriana, Keene, NH
“I never would have bought one of these heirloom tomatoes in the store. But they’re like paradise.” - Sue, Westmoreland, NH
“Thank you so much for the cider. It’s like nectar from the Garden of Eden!” - Jane, Westmoreland, NH
“What a bountiful season it has been! Thanks to all of you for the health-giving food and the opportunity to be a part of a very important community. We felt nourished and nurtured throughout the summer and fall, and we look forward to being a part of Hillside Springs CSA community again next year.” - Linda, Westmoreland, NH
