Notice of Winter Shares in the Eaters’ Guild 2011-2012 Season

This is our eighth year of winter shares and we’ve got a solid roster of these winter staple essentials. Our focus this season was to do well on the big 3—potatoes, onion and hard squash. Summer growing conditions were challenging, although these crop fared very well, and we have good stores for winter. Squash is in particular good
supply and we are working on improved storage so we can all eat squash of good quality and diversity far into winter. We have a good supply of beets and carrots, the winter sweets, as well. Other storage roots will be sunchoke, rutabaga and turnip. Brussels sprouts look great, as do the cooking greens, collards and kale, which we harvest as long as they last, typically through January. We are planting a hoophouse to spinach for winter harvest as well.. Last year’s intern’s trial crop, was successful, so with what we’ve learned there, we see occasional harvests of spinach throughout the winter, to add to the mix. We will still include sprouts periodically, and we are freezing hot peppers now in order to add spice to the winter abundance. Of course, we’ll email recipes and weekly musing of winter farm life.

Our winter share is $200 covering 17 weeks with 8 deliveries every other week.

Our first delivery is the week of Dec. 5th. Shares are limited to 80 this season to ensure good supply and a reasonable work load for our off-season. There is a lot of interest in this offering so if you know you want to do this, let us know or send this in soon.
