Why We Love It: There are more than 60 species of fruits and vegetables on this farm…with over 200 varieties under cultivation. That means that besides your garden-variety peas and broccoli, you also get unusual vegetables like lilac bell peppers, melon-flavored turnips and red iceburg lettuce. They also have an amazing CSA where you can choose exactly what you want at the market.

About Tonopah Rob's CSA: "It's like running a bar tab that was pre-paid," Rob Lazzarotto says of Tonopah Rob's CSA program. Instead of weekly delivery boxes, members have a dollar-value balance ($250 for a half share, $1,000 for a "super duper" share) they can use to shop at the farmstand. And they'll use it all, too, since more than 300 different varieties of fruits and vegetables are grown on the nine-acre farm and sold alongside eggs, honey and fresh-cut flowers. Look for tilapia to be available in the middle of 2015.
