2011/2012 Winter Shares Now Available!
Season #4!!!
There is nothing more flavorful then biting into a firm red tomato picked right off of the vine in the middle of January, during 20 below temps and snow swirls around outside. This is not a dream, this is reality and it has been my reality for the past four years.
As we head into our fourth season of winter CSA shares we look forward to crispy green lettuce mixes from Plantpeddler and Rolling Hills Greenhouse, mediterranean cucumbers and tomatoes from Plantpeddler. Annie's will be providing zucchini, beets, carrots, green beans, radishes, green onions, spinach, kohlrabi, and kale up to mid-December. Other root crops come from various producers such as GROWN Locally and Fairfield Farms.
I have seen advertisements for winter CSA's and most of them are for a couple of months and ending in December or they purchase in produce from other states. Annie's does not. All produce is raised by local farmers in our area and we deliver weekly. We also continue our staples share. This consists of Hansen's Dairy milk and butter, organic eggs from S&C Organics and bread from Dough and Joe. These too are local producers.
You can join our winter CSA anytime, as we ask for no commitments during this season. Because our weather is unpredictable, power could go out and freeze out the crops, not enough sunlight to produce product, or we could run out of produce. Our deliveries are still running on Tuesday's and Friday's. Give us a call or e-mail us if you are interested.
