New for 2024! - 10 week Winter Share.
Different from previous seasons, this year the share will be every week for 10 weeks, available in full or half shares and for pick up at all of our locations except Stonington.
The winter share consists of; crops that are picked before the ground freezes and stored in coolers or a hot box, crops that are in an unheated high tunnel and crops that are still out in the field but are covered with row cover (a thicker, gauzy material that protects winter hardy crops from chilling winter winds). This means plenty of veggies from the root cellar including: carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, rutabagas, watermelon radish, kohlrabi, onions, leeks, shallots, ginger and winter squash. Fresh greens including cabbage, kale and spinach as well as the tender greens for as long as they hold – bok choy, lettuce, arugula, spicy mix, swiss chard and chicories. Depending on weather, other items may include broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts.
