This is our most popular share, with a huge variety of fresh root vegetables, greens, herbs, and even squash later in the season.  From the beginning of June through October (approximately 22 weeks), shareholders will receive 6 to 10 different freshly picked vegetables in their share. Eat seasonally: the taste is intense. Commercial produce has only a fragment of the taste -- some elements are there but there is a taste void. We grow the real thing.

This is a later starting summer share for those who don’t want the multitude of greens that we grow in June, or are too late to join in the benefits of the whole season.  See Summer Share for more information on what to expect in your share.

We have a very good idea of what quantities of crops we need to store and how much fermented vegetables are needed. We know how to store the crops to keep them vital and tasting good, and know what crops to store together.

Beginning in November for approximately 18 distributions you will receive just picked greens (weather permitting), roots, apples and other storage crops. The roots include carrots, potatoes, onions, beets, celeriac, turnips, and radish. Storage crops include; cabbage, leeks, pumpkins and winter squash. The other part of the share is lactic acid fermented vegetables. We make kimchi, sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables. Organic and low spray apples are also available as part of the winter share. There are spring distributions in which we give out greenhouse greens in addition to our storage crops.

 

Our four seasons share combines the summer and winter share. In the winter we use our insulated greenhouse to grow greens as an addition to the storage crops and fermented vegetables.
