Henry’s Family Farm is the vegan CSA you didn’t know you needed

Keeping their kids healthy is pretty much goal one for most parents, and having fresh produce plays a major role in a healthy lifestyle. Signing up for a CSA can be an easy way to stay stocked and experience new flavors you might not grab in the local produce section. Recently, we had the chance to catch up with the good folks over at Henry’s Family Farm to learn more about the family behind the business and to hear about the services that they provide the Rocket City.

Meet the Henrys of Henry’s Family Farm

The first thing you need to know about Henry’s Family Farm is that the people who run it are PASSIONATE about fresh, healthy food. One of their main goals in operating the farm is helping to educate the community on healthy eating and lifestyle through organic farming and plant-based eating.

“I discovered Henry’s Family Farm in September of 2020. Until then, I just tried my best to hit our city’s Farmer’s Market on Sundays when I could to buy fresh, local produce. Being plant-based, I eat a TON of veggies. When my first delivery arrived, I was blown away by how much produce I received. The variety of plants was also super impressive! Supporting an honest, local business that cares for our community as well as the health of our planet brings peace to my heart, and I receive a huge box of fresh, organic vegetables at my doorstep to create nutritious dishes. What could be better than that? Their baked goods and Zesty Burgers are my absolute favorite special treats, too!” — Jane Ringbloom, ★★★★★
