WINTER CSA |
. Our unheated greenhouse will help us supply fresh greens for much of the winter. |
Every month
includes a solid base of staples:
Eggs, Carrots,
Onions and Potatoes.
A winter CSA is
much more than just roots. It has a seasonality of its own.
In the late fall, we still have hearty green vegetables coming out of the field:
Broccoli, Kale, Leeks, Spinach, Swiss
Chard
In the deep mid winter all manner of interesting roots are augmented with
pickles, dry beans and winter
spinach.
In the early spring months, delicious lettuce and greens come from our greenhouses.
Winter greens from the greenhouse
We try to have some greens from the greenhouse every month of the year.
It’s very exciting to be able to extend the season this way.
January and February are the tough months, and last winter was particularly harsh.
There’s no
guarantees, but we’ll try for every month again this year.
We
store it
If you’ve ever tried root cellaring winter vegetables,
you probably found out it’s not as easy as it sounds.
We have 4 separate climate controlled rooms for winter storage.
You can enjoy
winter vegetables without the hassle of a root cellar.
