Photo-Preview of the Winter Harvest

October 25th, 2009

Our Mainseason CSA goes for just four more weeks, and then we’ll jump right into the Winter CSA.  I’m offering an additional 6 weeks of harvests to keep supplying my members with ultra-fresh local produce after the Farmer’s Market has ended!  While there are CSA’s that harvest the entire year, and I’m definitely inspired by what they do, a 32-week harvest season is as much as I’m willing to take on at present.

Our winter harvests will include: Carrots, Beets, Potatoes, Cabbage, Leeks, Spinach, Lettuce, Winter Squash, Brussels Sprouts, Kale, Chard, and Bok Choi, plus extras like Radishes, Parsnips, Celery, Sunchokes, Cilantro, and Arugula.  The crops are all doing great; here are some pics:

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
