"I love Local Harvest.
If you are a gardening freak (like me) it is a God-send.
No matter what you are looking for, you can find it.
From the rare and bizarre, to the mundane and expected.
The fun starts when you discover things you didn't even know you wanted.
One time I went looking for veggie seeds and ended up buying Honey.
If you're traveling, it's a good place to find Farmer's Markets near your travel route.
The people I'm visiting love me when I show up with a basket of fresh 'what-ever'. "

"Very satisfied. I placed orders with 2 farmers. They were very professional, both shipped the next day, both orders were packaged well and arrived within 5 days. I will buy form them again and would definitely recommend them."

"Local Harvest is a company that represents many different sellers of organic and specialty foods. Technically, they just run the website and the sellers ship the items to the customers.

I placed the order sometime shortly before September 19. The seller (River Chocolate Company) had a question for me. I replied. After several weeks I had heard nothing. I tried again and then I got the same question. I replied and then still nothing. Over this time I also sent 3 other emails questioning the status of the order. At one point I was told it was shipped, but was given no information on shipping date or expected delivery and since it had been 6 weeks at this point I didn't know if they had just shipped it or they were saying I should have had it for a while now. After asking, I got no reply. Finally on 11/4/07, I sent an email to local harvest and the vendor threatening to reverse charges on my visa as it had been nearly 2 months and no delivery. The next day it sounds like Local Harvest and the vendor talked and resolved to send my order. It turns out all my email replies that are routed through local harvest to the vendor were not getting to the vendor (River Chocolate). They couldn't figure out why I was never answering. I talked to the owner of River Chocolate for some time on the phone and she was wonderful. She lives 50+ miles away in another state, but she hand delivered the order plus plenty of other goodies free of charge as a way to apologize.
I think the moral is that the vendors may be okay, but local harvest has some communication issues that made this experience difficult."
