[quote="Stults Fan"][quote="CraburyB"]Good Morning! Has anyone participated in any local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) like Brown Dog or Stults Farm?? We are seriously considering joining one, but would love some feedback. On another note, anyone know what happened to the Cutting Garden??? I loved that place! Thanks![/quote] This is the first year for Stults. Based on the information on their website regarding pricing and the products included for full and half shares, I would say it probably isn't one of the better CSA options. We have been shopping at their farm stand and using their "pick your own" fields for years and I know they have great products, but it seems as though I could pick or purchase on my own (rather than going with the CSA prepackaged bag) for less. I would give them a year or two to work out the kinks.[/quote]

Not sure if that is true or not. I do, however, know the farmer was pregnant with her second child last year so if it IS true this could be why. <br /> <br />Brown Dog is/was a transitional organic farm for the produce they grew onsite. Basically that means their soil was going through the "cleansing" process. They also did get fruits and produce from other local farms which were not organic. <br /> <br />Stults, while they have fantastic produce, is not organic. <br /> <br />Honeybrook Farms is organic. As a previous poster mentioned they have box shares delivered to town or onsite pick up in Pennington and now Chesterfield. Pennington is currently sold out but shares are still available for Chesterfield. I have been a member for the past 4 seasons and absolutley love it. <br /> <br />best of luck!</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>K</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri, Mar 23 2012, 7:54 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Re: CSAs and what happened to the Cutting Garden???</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Does anyone have any more information on Brown Dog CSA in Cranbury?
