Fifth Crow Farms we're at the Clement street farms market today, they had some beautiful bouquets, and a bounty of Fruit & Vegetables. More reasons to cook Beets!

I joined Fifth Crow Farm's CSA this summer, and was so happy with the consistently wonderful quality and variety of their fruits and vegetables. Weekly on-line customizing of my order was easy, and the pick-up location was close by, really convenient. Hours were 1:30pm to 8:00pm. The CSA will start up again next spring, so until then I'm going to their stand at the College of San Mateo Farmers' Market.

Last wk Saturday, I asked my husband to pick up a bag of the "organic, pre-washed, ready to eat SPRING MIX" . The bag was old and not fresh. Many pieces of the lettuce mix was slimy, the ends were brown and I had to go through each piece of lettuce to retrieve what might be edible. I cut off the brown stems, removed and tossed the slimy lettuce pieces that were stuck to other lettuce, and tossed brown, bruised lettuce. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PREWASHED LETTUCE! IT IS NOT FRESH! IT IS HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH AS THE LETTUCE IS OLD, SLIMY AND SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD AT THE SF FERRY BUILDING SATURDAY MARKET AS "FRESH". I only purchased this because I had a medical procedure where I am not able to prepare lettuce heads. I did purchase this a couple weeks ago, and it wasn't this bad. So I thought it would be okay to purchase again. BUT NEVER EVER AGAIN! THE LETTUCE WAS VERY WET!. They don't dry the lettuce satisfactorily and sell old bags of prewashed lettuce. IT IS VERY COMMERCIAL AND UNETHICAL FOR THEM TO SELL OLD, WET, SLIMY LETTUCE AS "FRESH". SHAME ON THEM!

Recently signed up, totally frustrated with low quality of produce even at farmers markets. Quality is very high. We need to support CSA.

If I could vote 0 stars I would. Rude employees and below average produce. Just avoid this place at all costs and give your money to a place that's worth it.

CSA was a dream! 3 seasons of beautiful produce from the most lovely and friendly staff. Pushed me out of my cooking comfort zone to make so many delicious veggie meals. Love what this farm stands for and the product they deliver.

We signed up for the CSA this year based on the great produce we've always seen from them at the San Mateo farmer's market, and it's really changed the way we eat. My husband is well known amongst our friends and acquaintances for disliking vegetables with some he'll "tolerate" and others that he flat out refuses to even touch with a fork. The CSA allows us to customize our share each week so I can make sure we don't get something he'll refuse to eat. I can also add to my CSA share each week which I've done several times to bulk up on seasonal items. Everything we've gotten has been incredibly good. My favorites are the strawberries, lettuce, cabbage, and tomatoes. I've also found that the produce doesn't go bad as quickly compared to the grocery stores and some other popular stands from the farmer's market. With such great tasting produce, it's really allowed me to increase my husband's vegetable intake. The CSA pickup location is closer than the farmers market which is nice. In addition, I can add on flowers, beans, and the occasional eggs. They also partner with own of my favorite regenerative ranches - Markegard - to provide grass fed beef, lamb, chicken and pork at the pick up location. The few negative call outs - prices are often higher than grocery stores and other farm stands at the farmers market, pickup is on a weekday so you have to be able to pick up midweek by a certain time (not easy for those with long hours/commutes), and weights are approximate so sometimes you'll get less than the requested amount (sometimes you'll get more though).

Great CSA boxes! We visit the farm every now and then to pick up an extra CSA box (normally we get them at a local farmers' market), and it is fun to walk around and show the kids where their food comes from.

I bought things from them from Ferry's building farmers markets. We bought flowers and parsnip. We asked the person a couple of question and suggestions on how to cook it and some questions. He was trying not to engage and was rude the entire time. We try to go and support local farms but this type of behavior was really not nice. Not planning to get other things from them.

We’ve been part of their CSA for the past two years. Absolutely amazing! We pick up every Wednesday at the Castro farmers market in the city.
