Good Food for Good Folks
At Horse and Buggy Produce our goal is to help keep your home supplied with the most delicious, locally grown foods in central Virginia:
Drawing from over 100 small family farms’, small-plot, personal vegetable gardens and fruit orchards is the key to our bountiful harvest and unbelievable variety.

Know Your Food Source
Most of our growers are members of a Mennonite community in the Shenandoah Valley who not only have been farmers for generations,but also employ timeless methods for raising fruits and vegetables without using synthetic pesticides*. Their life-style still includes horse-drawn carriages for transportation, a choice that limits the distribution of this extraordinary abundance from their well-tended soils. Once a week, our service will link your table with their harvest.

Save Time, Money, and the Planet
Perhaps the best part of having a Horse and Buggy subscription is that our spray-free produce is not only fresher, better tasting, and more nutritious than the stuff at the grocery store, but also is much cheaper than certified organic produce (which is rarely local), and almost always less expensive than "conventionally" grown (i.e., heavily sprayed with synthetic pesticides) produce.

Unsolicited Praise
More glowing reviews 
We swear our customers spontaneously emailed these wonderful notes.
"Love this CSA - great people, great service, great produce!"
By: Chris M Winebrenner (Jul 31, 2008) - Read the rest of this endorsement from the local harvest website.
“Based on my neighbor’s glorious review, I assumed I would receive good produce. But WOW, did I underestimate that. From corn that you could gum off the cob; strawberries that begged for a shortcake, but never made it that far; tomatoes that screamed to be immediately sliced and placed on a piece of homemade bread (never has my family had so many tomato sandwiches for dinner and been thrilled!); eggs that still seem to cluck; lettuce so good I wondered how the grocery store could call their offering by the same name; potatoes with that earthy quality that reminds you why you like potatoes; and on and on.” - Pam Sullivan, Rt. 29N Subscriber
* While virtually all of our produce is either treated without any pesticides whatsoever or only with certified organic sprays, most of our fruit, particularly our peaches and apples, must be treated with non-organic sprays. This is due to Virginia's extremely humid and rainy conditions which make it virtually impossible to produce acceptable fruit without the use of these mild fungicides and insecticides. We promise these crops are exposed to the smallest amount of treatment possible -- far lower than large-scale agriculture would consider. Given this reality, we advise that all of our fruits be thoroughly washed before being eaten. |
