Tag Archives: Winter Storage Shares

Nov 2 2011

I can almost see it!


It was a great day to get started on the hoop house. Mike, Matt and Casey set 52 ground posts today and we’ll be ready to begin assembly on Saturday!
While they were working on that, I bagged beautiful yellow storage onions and put them where they will be safely stored until they find good homes. If you need onions, check the “farm market” page for more information. We also have pumpkins available for decoration or eating.
Winter storage shares and Extended shares will have the first pick-up next week. If you have signed up for these, more information will be sent to you soon.
Water House Foods is also offering extended bread shares! If you would like to sample some of their wonderful baked goods just let me know! Pick-up will be at the farm and the cost is $12.00 for 2 bread deliveries. You do not have to purchase a vegetable share to enjoy a 2 week bread share.

Transitioning to Winter Shares

It’s always a bittersweet week; saying goodbye to everyone. We had a great and dedicated work-force this year and it was our pleasure to have workers return and new workers become part of the farm crew. We also enjoyed meeting everyone that stopped out to meet us and came to the farm events. You helped make it a great year and an inspiration for next year’s planning!
Even though there is a chill in the air and the regular season is over, there are still plenty of fantastic veggies to harvest! Our Extended Season shares are nearly sold out, but there are a few Winter Storage shares still available. See the descriptions in the “Join Us!” tab and contact us via email or phone.
