Winter Share Details

For the 2009-2010 winter season, there are four separate shares available. Members are able to choose any combination of the following: the Windflower Farm winter share, the Winter Sun Farms frozen share, the Elihu Farm egg share, and the Hot Bread Kitchen share. During the winter season, we distribute monthly (as opposed to weekly).

Windflower Farm winter share – $150

Offerings include veggies from the root cellar such as several kinds of potatoes, red and yellow onions, assorted winter squashes, cabbage, carrots, parsnips, beets, a few turnips, and small quantities of other items. The goal is to deliver 10 to 12 pounds of mixed storage vegetables every month to our winter shareholders.

Additionally, members can expect about a pound of mixed greens from the greenhouse, such as assorted salad and cooking greens, including red oak leaf lettuce, arugula, spinach, vitamin green, yukina savoy, kale, mizuna, and other cold-hardy mesclun-makings.

The Windflower Farm basic share also includes fruit from the Bordens, Ted & Jan’s neighbors, who grow pears and a wide assortment of totally delicious apples. Your monthly share includes 4 to 6 pounds of their fruit, or an assortment of fruit and their wonderful apple cider. Please note that their fruit is NOT grown organically. Instead, it is produced using IPM (integrated pest management) and low-spray practices. As organic tree-fruit becomes available, we will make every effort to include it in your share.

For the winter 2009-2010 season, the Windflower Farm box deliveries will take place on the third Saturday of the month from 12pm until 1pm, on the following dates: November 21st, December 19th, January 16th,  and February 20th.

Winter Sun Farms frozen share – $130

Jim Hyland at Winter Sun Farms partners with local sustainable farms to supply great tasting frozen fruits and vegetables throughout the winter. They lay aside produce during the summer harvest, freeze it, and deliver it straight to us at the garden. Each delivery will consist of seven separately packaged items, including things like green beans, butternut & summer squash, broccoli, peppers, fall greens, tomato puree, edamame, blueberries and raspberries. More information is available at the Winter Sun Farms website.
