testimonial from csa members

  I love trying new vegetables that I had not known of prior. The Shishito peppers were amazing! We received veggies that were different from what we would typically purchase and expanded our food experiences.  We also learned how to prepare different dishes and it was wonderful incorporating the veggies into our meals. I also appreciated receiving the weekly CSA email filled with updates and recipes.

Everything! The reasons are numerous! I get fresh local veggies from wonderful friends. I know where my food is coming from! John and Stephanie are wonderful and I look forward to seeing John when I pick up my bag. I love knowing that I’m supporting local farming! I love knowing my veggies are pesticide free! 

I love getting local, organic vegetables every week from a farmer that I trust. Farmer John has had us out to his farm to see his garden and explain his practices for producing great crops. 

  Having weekly delivery to the Elon farmers market was ideal for us! Also, the price for the CSA was more than fair, we felt we received an excellent value.

I saved a ton of time just picking up the bag each week. Rarely had to go to the store for more veggies. Very affordable as well.

They offer two pick-up locations within 10 minutes of my house-- one in Elon and one in Burlington. It is no hassle to grab our new bag once a week and it completely cut out our need to buy vegetables at the grocery store for 6 months. 

Convenience wasn't why I signed up for the CSA but early on I realized it was an added perk!

Some of the things I love about belonging to a CSA are supporting local farmers - keeps the money in the community, reduces transportation impacts (and carbon footprint), and hopefully works to keep development at bay and preservation of rural communities and culture.

We have participated in the Dinner Bell Farm CSA since its first season and are already looking forward to the 2020 season.  The weekly shares are quite substantial and so fresh and lovely.  If you receive a vegetable you have never eaten or do not know how to prepare, no worries, Stephanie provides simple recipes to help introduce the item.  Between Stephanie and Google you've got it covered.  We pick up our share at the farm in Snow Camp, which really feels like "farm to table".  We encourage everyone to take advantage of this wonderful farm right here in Snow Camp.

  I love how the veggies were fresh and varied. It wasn't just the basics that we would typically purchase, but "new to us" veggies. Also, the portions were generous.

They are delicious and nutritious! 

They taste great! They come from just a few miles away and every week we get a diverse group of vegetables that have been freshly picked.

  Having the connection with our farmer and the direct link to how our food is grown is so valuable to our family. We were able to tour the farm and learn about all the steps Dinner Bell Farm takes to ensure we have healthy crops to enjoy and how they build and plan for the future. We are renters and do not have the option of in-ground garden beds so for us this is the next best option.

It is the right thing to do to support your neighbors who are caring for the environment and providing nutritious food for many people. It reduces your carbon footprint! 

Jump in and join the Dinner Bell Farm CSA! The veggies are excellent and Farmer John and Stephanie are genuine and authentic people. Each week the recipes sent were inspiring and we enjoyed learning about what was happening on the farm that week. The value is top notch and there are plenty of veggies for a family of two. We look forward to next seasons CSA!

You’ll be thankful that you chose Dinner Bell Farm!
