The Winter CSA has Begun!

This year at DeepSeeded Farm, we’ve decided to keep the harvest coming for a few weeks into winter.  I planted an acre or so of crops that would mature in the fall and provide harvest a ways into winter.  Though it is possible to harvest something from the garden all year long in this climate, I decided to keep the winter CSA to just 6 weeks for a couple of reasons.  One, it’s great to get a break from harvest at some point in the year.  Secondly, after a while into winter the diversity of crops available for harvest in our climate starts to diminish, and keeping the CSA baskets diverse and interesting becomes challenging.  Two farms I like to keep tabs on that are doing all-winter CSA’s are Oakhill Organics in Dayton, OR, and Mendocino Organics in the Redwood Valley area of Mendocino county, CA.

Our winter CSA runs 6 week for $120 ($20/wk) and includes eight to ten of the following items each week:  Arugula, Beets, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Bok Choi, Cabbage, Carrots, Cilantro, Chard, Celery, Cauliflower, Fennel, Kale, Lettuces, Leeks, Parsnips, Potatoes, Spinach, Sunchokes, and Winter Squash.  We are now full at 90 members!
