Winter Shares for 2008
This year we will be offering Winter Shares for the first time. We have waited several years before offering this. Mainly because we did not have the salad mixes and spinach growing systems in place to provide a steady stream of these vital greens. Of course we will have an array of winter vegetables as well: Leeks, Onions, Shallots, four different kinds of Potatoes, Westport Turnip, Purple Top Turnips, Beets, Carrots, Daikon Radish, Green and Red Cabbage, Watercress, Hardy Herbs (thyme, Oregano, etc..) Three Var. of Kale, Collards, Fall Broccoli (2007 we had Broccoli until December 15th!!) Sweet potatoes, Parsnips, and others
The winter shares will be offered in Providence at our Saturday pickup site in front of Hope High School or somewhere nearby. We will have more details in September.
Our winter shares in Little Compton will occur on Friday afternoons at the farm in our CSA distribution room. It will be set up farmers market style.
A winter share in the Barrington area will be a possibility but will be an option we will explore in September when we better know where our farmers market will eventually be held.
Winter Shares will be a weekly pickup. They will start November 5th, 7th and 8th respectively. They will go until December 27th. It will be a total of nine pickups. The cost will be $225.
