Veggies from the root cellar

Offerings from the root cellar include 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 8 to 10 pounds of mixed storage vegetables every month to our winter shareholders.

Greens from the winter greenhouse

The prospect of dining on freshly harvested greens on a cold winter evening is an excellent reason to try a winter share. Ted and Jan have planted three greenhouses of assorted salad and cooking greens, including red oak leaf lettuce, arugula, spinach, “Red Russian” kale, mizuna, and other cold-hardy mesclun-makings. They are also experimenting with “Vitamin Green”, “Tokyo Bekana” and “Yukina Savoy” this year. The goal is to include 1 to 2 pounds of mixed greens in each share.

Fruit from cold storage

The Bordens, Ted and Jan’s neighboring farmers, are excellent fruit growers and cider-makers. They grow pears and a wide assortment of 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.
