“I subscribed to the half share CSA last year and it was a joy to open it up each time! I received vegetables I've never heard of or seen in any local grocery stores. It was exciting to fit each seasonal produce into my weekly meals, but what made it even more enjoyable was the printed info (and sometimes recipes) that came in the box, telling me what each thing was, gave a little historical background, and let me know what flavors to expect. The care for their craft is evident in each delivery!! Even the way they promote a reduce-reuse-recycle lifestyle shows their passion extends beyond what's on our plates, to supporting a healthy earth. Subscribing to this CSA elevated my meals at home in a way I couldn't have done by shopping in a store, and it feels amazing knowing that the food I'm eating comes from an organic farmland worked by people who want to see their community eat and live well. All my appreciation to the owner(s) and crew! Can't wait to get my next CSA!!”

“Love Fulbuschel, their mission, and their produce. Quinton is kind, patient, and answers any and all questions about his work with the farm, plants, and friendly supervising hawks. His work ethic is astounding.. organic farming is his passion but he works elsewhere seasonally, not sure how he does it. It’s been wonderful watching this farm and company grow with each year, new varieties of produce every year, more growing space as of 2021. Their CSA boxes are gorgeous and I know they filled all their slots this year, which is great to see. His partner, Sam, owns her own juicing business, Natural Roots Juice, and they .. are .. PHENOMENAL!! They sell out quickly at the farm stand every Saturday. it’s worth getting there early, or even better, a custom juice order that can be picked up. Love the people who make this farm work, they are quality from head to toe, and it shows with every step of the way.”

“This is the best spot to to grab amazing produce and locally sourced goods. Quinton and Sam are so knowledgeable and kind. I’m so glad I was apart of their CSA this year - they will go above and beyond to cater to what you’re in need of. Sam also makes amazing fresh squeezed juices that my daughter and I enjoy so much. Looking forward to another season supporting my local farmers who supply pesticide free products. Quality is phenomenal and they also sell locally sourced mushrooms! They also sell locally sourced poultry, fish and meat which I highly recommend. Looking forward to next harvest season!”

“Recently received our first half-share from the CSA process. Everything is delicious and so fresh. It's also fun to be surprised with what's in the box, challenging me to find ways to use this marvelous organic produce! Quintin and Sam are both so helpful, making sure your questions are answered and ensuring you know what's in your box. So excited and grateful to partner with Elder Oaks Farm for healthier and sustainable food choices.”

“We've been buying our produce from Elder Oaks for four years now, and we are so happy to have them nearby. Not only does their produce taste better than what is in the chain grocery stores, but I like knowing that it is organic and grown locally. The vegetables are in great condition, and always very clean. The farm-share subscription is a great option -- I have discovered several vegetables that I didn't know I liked this way.”

“Farmers Market Paradise! Quality is absolutely fantastic!! The atmosphere is also amazing! You can see and feel how much love these people put in daily. Zucchini and tomatoes, omg A+!! The displays and assortments of produce is nothing less than perfection! The way they display their products is absolutely fantastic! It’s a color pallet of the Gods!! Everything is sorted and gorgeous! Perfection!!”

“This place is great! I highly recommend coming here weekly for fresh produce. From kohlrabi to tomatos this is the place to come to get your delicious fresh produce. They also have locally sourced honey which really helps with my allergies! Thank you farmer Quinton for being the best little market in town.”

“Really nice community supported agriculture farm. We hit the flower and vegetable plant sale this weekend. Plenty of high quality herbs, flowers, and vegetable starts for our garden.”
