*We are currently closed for the winter 2009-2010 season.*
The Winter CSA differs from the Summer CSA in that the distributions take place every month, rather than weekly, and members have the option of choosing either a vegetarian share or a meat share, each of which is described below. There are a total of five distributions during the season, which spans from mid-December 2009 to April 2010. The price for the winter share will be $250.
Full payment must be received by November 13, 2009.
What to expect?
There will be two share options: Vegetarian (lacto-ovo) and Meat. Members who choose the meat share will receive chicken and vegetarian shares will be filled in with additional vegetarian products. Expected (but not guaranteed) products include:
- Vegetables that will be available include; most storage crops - a variety of potatoes, winter squashes (acorn, butternut), cabbage, onions, celery root, and possibly some greens (chard and kale).
- Dairy products from the Evans Farm including cheese and yogurt and organic eggs from Norwich Meadows Farm.
- Preserved items will include: tomatoes, pickles, organic beans and possibly dried fruits, local honey or maple syrup (Evans Farm).
