Here’s what you get with a WINTER Farm Share CSA Membership:

  • 5 month season of great-tasting, vegetables (October – February).
  • Ten shares delivered every other week beginning October 19
  • THERE ARE TWO DELIVERIES IN A ROW RIGHT BEFORE THANKSGIVING! on Nov. 18 & 25.
  • Recipes, storage info and tips to help you use your box will match the items in your share.
  • Locally grown vegetables – there’s nothing like the experience of eating seasonally, even in winter. Challenge yourself to support your local farmer by focusing on eating what he sends.
  • Organically grown vegetables – we and our fellow farmers follow all the organic standards and go beyond in some ways by integrating animals, bees, flowers, trees and native plants on our land.
  • Support from other members in a private Facebook group. You’ll enjoy posting your recipes, asking advice, getting ideas and interacting with other CSA members.
  • Support for Your Local Farmer – Your food dollars go 100% to support the DeMaster Family, Willow Haven Farm and our partner/grower farms. Income in the winter months is much appreciated by farmers.
  • Access to extras to supplement your box – unique items like Artisan Farmstead cheese from our cheese room, organic mushrooms, raw milk and much more.
  • First Notice when 2021 Farm Share CSA is open!

​
​
​What size is a Standard Share?
​A standard share targets 7 – 8 items. ​
​
We calculate the contents of each share based on the real, monetary value of each crop. The contents of your particular share is determined by the number of items you receive and will vary from week to week.
​
If there are several higher value items like spinach or lettuce, you’ll have fewer items in your share. If there are lower value items like squash or potatoes, you’ll have more items in your share.
​
​
​Describe the Standard Winter share​
Because it costs more to grow and store vegetables in the winter, the winter share is more expensive per box than the summer shares. For instance, lettuce is cheap and easy to produce in the summer but much harder in the winter because it requires a heated greenhouse and there aren’t as many farms growing winter lettuce. Root crops were grown during the summer and kept in reserve on the farms until needed. Thousands of pounds of potatoes, onions, carrots and winter squash take up lots of room and need special conditions to keep them from deteriorating in storage.
​
​Winter vegetables are mostly greens and root vegetables: Beets, Butternut Squash, Cabbage, Carrots, Fennel, Garlic, Kale, Kohlrobi, Leeks, Lettuce Mix, Onions, Parsnips, Potatoes, Spinach, Sweet Potatoes, Turnips, Winter Radishes. ​
​
Each share will rotate through the varieties but the last shares will reflect what veggie crops are able to store the longest in good condition.
​
​Is the Standard Winter share customizable?​
Limited. Because varieties are limited and we can’t afford to have extras that will go to waste, these shares are not fully customizable. You can still use your Harvie preferences to indicate what you like the best and to change pick up arrangements if necessary. You may find that some limited swapping is available.
