Groundworks Farm — Attraction in Delmar

I have been using the produce, meat, eggs, and cheese shares for the past two years. I have been thrilled with the freshness and variety of the produce that I have received. It has been a great mix of locally grown vegetables I expect—lettuce, corn, tomatoes—with vegetables that I would not have tried, such as watermelon radishes and kohlrabi. This summer they have added fruit to the produce distribution, making the produce share even more appealing. I like the fact that the farmers provide the amount of each produce I can take for my share, but that I choose the particular produce from each bin. The farmers have provided wonderful recipe options to help me make use of all the produce that is provided. The pasture-raised meats—beef, pork, lamb, and chicken—have been especially tasty. I like the option of picking the cuts that I want. The cheese share has brought new kinds of locally produced cheeses that I would not have tried before.

Bins of vegetables are laid out along with a list of limits for each item. I like being able to measure and choose my specific cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, etc.

I especially like that the eggs are pasture raised and have deep orange yolks. They are grown without antibiotics and...

This is a terrific service; the produce is always excellent and the variety is endless. The farmers, Margaret and Kevin, are completely customer-oriented and provide wonderful, personal service. They also offer chicken, meat, eggs, and cheese shares which are great quality. At every pick-up, they have a pop-up market with local honey, milk,and butter, to name just a few things ... all of which are delicious. I am a huge fan and would recommend this CSA to anyone who values great food and...
