I have never visited Full Belly Farms. This review is on their weekly organic vegetable box delivery service. I have received two deliveries of the four I am scheduled for. I am trying this service because I wasn't sure if it would work for my family. The result? I absolutely love this service. The quality is excellent. The food is organic and from a certified farm. I love driving 2 miles from my house on a Saturday morning to pick up box. For only $19 a week we have plenty of fruits and vegetables for our family for the week. I wasn't sure if I would like getting a box with vegetables that I have never tried but I committed to finding recipes my family would enjoy with whatever came in the box. This approach has added some needed variety to our meals. I am no longer going to the grocery store or farmers market buying the same old stuff. This was a much needed change of pace. I also tried their olives and pickles. The olives were so outstanding and fresh. The pickles had excellent flavor as well and I liked them but my family prefers a different brand. Because they've been verified organic since 1985 I feel confident that this addition to my family's diet improves our nutrient in take. I don't feel I can get this level of nutrition from veggies grown on non organic farms. I signed up online and the process was very simple. They emailed me the details of our box prior to picking up our delivery. I got a call prior to the first delivery so I could ensure I understood the process and to see what questions I had. If I am going on vacation I can skip a delivery or I can donate a box which I absolutely LOVE. For those who want home delivery they offer that at an additional fee I believe in the San Francisco and Bay Area. Thank you Full Belly Farms. I am hoping to visit one day to learn more about your operations and your commitment to good quality food.

We absolutely love Full Belly! We've been CSA members for years and it has taught me so much about in-season foods, made me a better cook, and simply brought so much joy, consistency, and delicious produce to my life. I also love the weekly notes from the farm, the ability to buy add-ons like eggs and flours. And finally, we used Full Belly floral for our wedding this June and loved working with Hannah! Their flowers both in the CSA and for an event are gorgeous.

I am very grateful to be able to access so much of Full Belly's bounty at the Palo Alto Farmers Market. The usual suspects are delish of course, like seasonal fruits and veggies, but I also love the jams, tea cakes, pickles and am really addicted to their eggs which have the yummiest, yellowest yolks I've ever seen outside of the farm eggs I ate at an agritourismo Farm in Italy. Please don't ever stop coming to the PA market you are well loved!

Wonderful people! This is a great location for a special occasion and their produce and products are grown with love and care for the environment. Thank you for continuing to be a great example of what an organic farm can do!
