Remember we posted a while back about the Shared Harvest Winter CSA?

Chances are you are actually in the market for a winter CSA now.  But here’s some cool news about Shared Harvest: There will be Fiore di Nonno Mozzarella and fresh, local eggs (from Pete & Jen’s and from Picadilly Farm) available for sale at the distribution points. A little birdy told me there might be a couple of other cool items for sale, too, but those aren’t confirmed yet. We’ll keep you posted.

Here are the deets again:

Where will the Winter Shares be distributed? We have a new distribution location: Busa Farm, 52 Lowell Street in Lexington. Busa Farm is located on the border of Arlington and Lexington. Here’s a link to a map that shows our distribution site.

When and How Much? This year there are two share distribution choices: Choose either a two month or a three month winter share. The two month Winter CSA will be distributed on Nov 7 and Dec. 5 and costs $160.00. The three month Winter CSA will be distributed on Oct 24, Nov 14 and Dec 12 and costs $240.00.

What’s in the Share? Each winter share distribution will contain about 38 pounds of produce. Plans for the winter share include beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, celery, celeriac, collard greens, escarole, fennel, garlic, hakurei turnips and greens, kale, lettuce, leeks, red and green bell peppers, purple top turnips, onions, parsnips, popcorn, potatoes, radishes, radicchio, sweet potatoes and winter squash. Apples and dried beans are also planned for the share. The two month share will not include celery, fennel, broccoli, red and green peppers, red onions or Brussels’ sprouts.

Share a Ride A ride-share community map helps to keep CSA traffic to a minimum. Your contact information is recorded on a private, on-line map using maps.google.com The map is only available to shareholders. The map makes it easy to identify and contact other shareholders for car pooling or forming driving cooperatives. You can opt-out of the ride share map.
