Something Good Organics — Attraction in Goleta

For the past two months, my friend and I have received a subscription of a large share box from Something Good Organics. We have the box sent to UCSB, to avoid paying extra for delivery fees (we're poor grad students). The quality of produce is consistently fresh and amazingly delicious. Every week, we receive a panoply of fresh veg and a comparatively smaller portion of fruit. A fruit expansion subscription is also an option. Common staples are carrots, kale, tangerines or apples, cabbage, and some sort of lettuce. The non-staple items are always a joy to behold when one opens the box---it's like Christmas and opening presents, except it happens every week! For example, this week we received avocados. Sometimes we get various types of squash, beets (don't chuck the leaves, you can eat them), or berries.

By sharing with my friend, I pay 17.50 a week for a huge amount of fresh vegetables.

Finally, it makes me feel so so so good to support local agriculture.

I've attached a photo of a gigantic spaghetti squash I received from one of the boxes. I baked and stuffed it with cheese, carrots (also from the box), and some mushrooms. It was really...

We know first hand the challenges of farming and the will of mother nature from a past life which gives us an even greater appreciation of the goodness that goes into the CSA boxes we receive from Something Good Organics. It feels right to support a local farming family but believe me the benefits are ALL ours. Both the flavors and nutrients are far superior to other produce. I am so happy we made this commitment and encourage you to for your own health and the health of our world. I still supplement at farmer’s market but love having the bulk of my seasonal produce delivered...

I am so grateful for this farm -- we've been subscribed for the weekly CSA boxes since 2017 and it has been amazing. I never knew "ordinary" vegetables like broccoli or lettuce could taste so good! Not to mention (oops I'm about to mention some of them...) the excellent out-of-the-ordinary produce like kohlrabi, romanesco, delicata squash, fresh basil, heirloom tomatoes, canary melons, sunflower sprouts. That is why one of our friends who is a cooking enthusiast comes from Carpinteria to SB every week to pick up his...
