5% discount deadline for Winter CSA Shares TODAY!

If you have questions about the CSA please email or call Margaret! Here is some information you may be wondering about the winter CSA:

The winter CSA Share is bi-weekly and starts the first week in December and goes every other week for 12 pick ups until May.  Because the pick ups are every other week the size of the produce share is bigger and it is designed to provide you with most of (if not all) your produce depending on how much produce your family uses.  The share is designed to feed a family or two avid cooks.  Many people wonder and ask if there is really that much you can grow and give out in the wintertime and they are usually shocked by the list I give them of what is in our winter shares.  Not only do we grow a wide variety of storage crops such as winter squash, sweet potatoes, beets, carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, turnips and more we also have a 200 foot greenhouse in which we grow winter greens and we are building a second one this fall for later greens. So we can enjoy fresh spinach and other treats all winter and once we get into early spring the greenery will increase even more.  In addition to the storage and fresh crops we put some frozen and canned items in the winter shares as well.  Pickled green beans, beets, tomatillo salsa, tomato hot sauce and more can be found in the share as well as frozen tomatoes, pesto and frozen melon.

Egg shares are still 1 dozen/week so you pick up 2 dozen each week.

Pasture-raised chicken shares are sold out.  Email me to get on the waiting list.

The grass fed and pasture-raised meat share includes a free choice of beef, pork and lamb. Lamb, Beef, and Pork are all available at each pickup.  Each item is labelled with a number 1 through 7, and you have a total of 17 points to take home every month. We are really excited to have opened up our own on farm butcher shop this month.  We look forward to making the quality and value of the share even better through the use of the butcher shop.

The local Cheese Share is at least two varieties of cheese–totaling approximately one pound–per month. Our choice.  Most of the cheeses are made from raw cow or raw goats milk, which means they retain all of their enzymes, nutrients, and flavor.
