Glad to hear you're settling in. If you end up in the Valley sometime in the Spring, you'll have to swing by my parents' greenhouse operation outside of Canning--just a bit further down the road after the Daylilies place. Riverview Herbs (http://riverviewherbs.com/) is really worth a drive too! Their greenhouses smell fantastic! :D

Congrats! Owning a home is really awesome. :) You guys are living the dream--great jobs + living in the Maritimes! ;) Hope the move goes smoothly.

We used them for about a year and then discontinued. I lovelovelove the microgreens and salad greens. The fresh herbs were nice, but inconsistent--the herbs sent didn't always correspond well to the rest of the order. I also got really sick of bok choy at one point--we had so much for a few weeks that we were eating it in large quantities three or four times a week. The rest of the growing season went well, but we discontinued in the fall after building up four pounds of sweet potatoes and a little bit more than four pounds of beets--there's only so much of those a person can stand to eat in a week. ;)
I really loved the quality, though, and their herbs are incredible quality--I buy their mint weekly here at the Parkdale Market for an Indian mint chutney I enjoy. You can't buy mint of better quality in any store. I found that my enjoyment of the weekly 'surprise' factor in the basket contents diminished significantly by the end of the growing season, and we opted to buy from them at the market and can or freeze the produce for winter instead. This way we could get what we liked and have less food waste.
This year we have bought a share in a friend's CSA. I'm really excited about it!
