I want a starting-after-mid-December winter CSA, but only if it's cost-effective. I asked Red Fire how much their shares weighed, hoping they'd compare to the Shared Harvest ones last year (which were hyuge). But RF said the Deep Winter shares will weigh about 14 lbs—nowhere near as large. Damn. Damn. I want a starting-after-mid-December winter CSA, but only if it’s cost-effective.

It has eggs and veggies. My pick up is in Harvard Square, but I know they also have one at the Non Profit Center near South Station. I don't know if they have any left though!

I don't know if they offer to folks who weren't part of the regular season CSA. They also offer bulk orders of winter veggies - potatoes, carrots, rutabagas, cabbage, etc. My folks are coming to visit for Thanksgiving and I told them to get ready, you will be cuddling up to cabbages in the guest room :-) Farm Direct Co-op has an extended season (two pick-ups in November) and a winter share (one pickup, in late nov I think).
