Winter CSA Sign-Ups
This week's hefty bag of toothsome spinach from our new field tunnel reminded me that it's time to spread the word about the Winter CSA! We'll be offering a winter/spring CSA share like last year, with the first totes going out the week of January 7th and continuing every other week through the week of May 13th (10 weeks total). We had so much fun doing it last year - and we ate so well all winter - that we're going to try our luck with the winter months once again.
I had some trepidation with the notion of a winter CSA, given the uncertainty of the weather: floods, freezes, hailstorms, and all the rest. But each week that we packed the winter/spring shares I marveled at the diversity and abundance of food we were sending out, thanks to the combination of storage crops, greenhouse production, outdoor overwintering crops, and early spring perennial crops (asparagus, artichokes...). This year we have even more planted for winter, plus two new greenhouses in the New Nine, so we're hopeful that there'll be good winter eating for all.
A few details to keep in mind if you're interested in signing up:
- The cost of a winter share is $400, payable by check or via PayPal on our website.
- Candace's eggs will also be available, 10 week shares for $55.
- Winter CSA shares are limited! We can only do about half our summer volume due to winter production constraints, so I encourage you to sign up and reserve your spot as soon as possible on our website!
- We do not deliver in the winter. All Winter CSA shares (veggies and eggs alike) must be picked up at the farm. Pick-up is every other Wednesday from 9 am to 4 pm at our barn, 2 miles up Floras Creek Road. Because pick-up is from our walk-in cooler, it's fine if you come a day or two late, so long as you pick up during daylight hours.
- Concurrent with Wednesday CSA pick-ups, we will have our farmstand set up in the barn in case you want to purchase any additional goodies.
Don't hesitate to be in touch if you have any questions, and enjoy your first taste of the winter season to come when you dig into that spinach!
