Taproot Farm is AMAZING! We've subscribed to their CSA for many years now and it just gets better and better. The vegetables are beautiful, varied, clean, and thoughtfully chosen. Delivery is reliable and our pickup spot is only about a mile from where we live. And customer service is outstanding.

We love our Taproot CSA! Every week we marvel at how perfect each vegetable in the box is, like it has been individually cared for in a tiny garden. We have been long time members and can highly recommend Taproot, they are great people with great food!

I have been a member of the Taproot CSA for two years. Before that, I would always try to track them down at Farmers' Markets in the Philadelphia area. Namely, Old City on Wednesdays and Chestnut Hill on Saturdays. Their produce speaks for itself, always at peak freshness, keeping well when stored properly, and positively delicious. They have introduced me to varieties of broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, radishes and beautiful tomatoes that I never knew existed. As an added bonus, the farmer's weekly newsletter includes recipes, cooking and storage tips for the veggies that are in season that week. June and July are always highlights, as Taproot harvests their organic strawberries and blueberries.

My family has been part of Taproots CSA for many years now (I’ve lost count but more than 5) and absolutely love the quality and care they put into growing food and caring for their land. We’ve left their veggies and eggs in the fridge for weeks (unintentionally) and they’ve still been fresh, crisp and delicious. Japanese sweet potatoes, watermelon, berries and eggs are top favs but it’s all amazing.

This was our third year buying farm shares from Taproot Farm and we have decided we will always use them. The quality, variety, ease of service, friendliness of communication…. It’s all superb. We started during the onset of COVID to sort of up our cooking game, support a local farm, and eat more veggies. We look forward to picking up the gorgeous produce from Taproot every week - it’s the perfect way to jumpstart our weekend. We love Taproot Farm!!!

Love taproot! I have been getting a taproot csa for years, their vegetables are incredibly delicious and fresh and I love being challenged to cook with new things I might not normally buy at the store. You can taste the difference, they are significantly better than veggies from the grocery store.

Rachel Mednick

The CSA at Taproot is well-run, and I love getting their fresh produce every week. The quality of the produce is superb, and it's nice to have the option to add fruit, eggs, cheese, coffee etc to our veggie share. They send me an email every week with what to expect in the share, how to cook/store each item, and some recipes. I feel like the variety is really good too - with other CSAs, I feel like you may get 5 weeks straight of squash, but with Taproot I never felt bored with the weekly shares. Being able to manage my account online and put a vacation hold on my share if I'm out of town is also a nice option.

Stephanie Bacue

Absolutely fabulous, beautiful, delicious vegetables for a reasonable price! Being a taproot CSA member has truly changed how our family cooks and eats. Thank you Ola, George and team for keeping us stocked with some incredible produce.

Izzy Star

Picking up my CSA from Taproot at the farmer's market in Old City is one the highlights of my (and my dog's) week. The produce is fresh, varied, and plentiful. I appreciate that Taproot sends an email each week detailing what's in the share and how to store it. Thank you for a wonderful season! I can't wait for next year's CSA.

Morgan Peele

I love my CSA with Taproot. Everything is just picked and perfect, the add ons are great. I get different mushrooms every week that aren't available in the grocery store. Ola answers any questions I have quickly and satisfactorily in addition to her informative weekly emails. Also, the recipes are a nice bonus. I don't know how they do it with all of the additional locations they service since I became a member, but they do it very well. I 100% recommend Taproot CSA for anyone who wants fresh, organic, healthy food. Thanks Ola!

We first got introduced to Taproot by a high-end restaurant in Philly. They told us it’s the best produce around. We have been a CSA member for years and have bought their produce at Chestnut Hill Farmer’s market. It’s always fresh, delicious and beautiful.

Kara Lehman

I subscribed to my first CSA with Taproot this year and have been very happy with it. They have different size shares so you can get what fits your household. The convenience, quality and variety is superb and has really improved the meals I eat. I used to shop at farmers markets but using a CSA has cut down the time I spend shopping as well as narrows down my meal planning (by no longer having to start from scratch).The customer service is also wonderful as you are most likely contacting the owners directly and they answer any questions you have. I highly recommend trying a CSA if you are interested in eating local and want to cook with a variety of fresh vegetables.

Karen Liao

We've had summer, spring, and fall CSAs from Taproot for nearly three years, and they are absolutely amazing. Excellent vegetables, wonderful selection and diversity of products, and they're lovely people. Could not recommend more!

Abigail Dym

We have been members of the CSA for the past three years. The food is always fresh, delicious, and we enjoy the wide variety of produce offered each week. The owners are lovely, and always responsive to questions. We love supporting this farm!

Eileen Pargola

My partner and I just completed our first season (summer) as CSA members with Taproot, with a small-sized weekly share. Everything has been high-quality and tasted great, and I deeply appreciate the variety we find in our shipments. There are recipes and suggestions for every item in the weekly preview emails. Keep up the good work, Taproot!

Nathan Gold

Awesome veggie shares that are always fresh and tasty. The variety is also nice. They are quick to answer questions and are very friendly. The Apple shares are also very good. Nothing like a fresh local apple a day!

Mark F.

This is our first year as members of the CSA, and the produce is excellent quality. I don't mind paying more than what Aldi charges, because I know where it's coming from, and it stays fresh waaaaay longer than anything I buy at the grocery store.Now, if we could only get an early pickup time in New Jersey so I don't have to drive 45 minutes each way on my day off...

Michael Beese

I've been a member of many CSAs, but by far, this is the best. Great veggies, great options, professional service. Love that you can put on a pause for vacations. I cannot recommend Taproot enough.

Amanda Marcotte

We LOVE our CSA from Taproot Farm. The produce is always fresh and tasty!

Thaddeus McGiness

Fantastic CSA service. Always happy with the wonderful produce and really appreciate the helpful cooking and preparation tips.

Louise Keegan

LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Ola is super helpful and responsive, and the shares are beautiful and diverse. Strong recommend.

Emma Richards

Taproot is our favorite farm. We always stop at their stand first at the Ambler Farmer's Market and are bereft without their produce when the market is off-season. They have wonderful produce, with a wide variety of options, and Ola always has suggestions for new things to try.

Derik Badman

My husband and I have shared a CSA share from Taproot Farm with our neighbors for the past two years. George and Ola at Taproot are wonderful to work with and we are so impressed with their lovely emails describing life on the farm, their website, and the recipes they send out to help use lesser-known produce items. We have SO MUCH FUN anticipating and dividing the beautiful produce with our neighbors. In Year 2 we got so good at using the tips and recipes that we never wasted a thing. Long about February when we're out shoveling snow we yell across the street to our neighbors "Can't wait for our CSA!!"

Anne Walker

A wonderfully dedicated, incredibly hard-working jubilant family, with gorgeous produce farm, greenhouses and 200 chickens happily ranging the grassland. The most succulent vegetables of many, many luscious varieties of every season, lovingly tended. I can't tell you how impressed I was by just knowing the way Mr. Brittenburg cures the squashes in a special shed every autumn before they bring them to market at the peak of deliciousness. I'm from New York City, so can only buy occasionally when I'm in the area, but if I could, I would surely subscribe to their delivery system. Keep up your ideals! Yum yum!!

Barbara Rosenthal

Great farmers with integrity producing top notch produce!

Will Smith

Wonderful produce and a great team!

K Moored

Great place and real food people are great also!!

Carl Snell

We love Taproot! We have been CSA members for 10 years now and the veggies are a staple in our families diet! We are so thankful for Ola, George and all the taproot farm team that put so much care and intentionality into all of hard work they do to grow such an amazing variety of vegetables. Having the convenience of a CSA box packed full of a variety of organic vegetables each week of the season is wonderful!
