WHAT IS THE WINTER CSA SHARE? Winter shares consist of a pre-boxed, once-a-month pickup from December through May of approximately 15-20 lbs of our own organic vegetables, and 1-3 dozen of our pastured organic eggs. You will pick one of the following share types (they are the same price): “Garden of Eve” share includes produce and eggs grown at Garden of Eve. A vegan option which replaces eggs with locally grown (non-organic) apples is also available. “Shopping Basket” share will include Garden of Eve vegetables AND eggs in slightly smaller quantities than the Garden of Eve share, 1-2 dozen eggs per month, and the remainder of the share value will be in the form of 2-3 “locavore” products each month including jars of preserved Garden of Eve organic pickles and tomatoes; organic cornmeal and flours from northeastern growers; OG buckwheat cereal and buckwheat from Birkett Mills NY; Long Island raw honey, local non-organic apples from Briermere Farms, etc. FALL(Dec-Jan) will include of our own fresh organic field-grown greens such as kale, collards, Swiss chard, and Brussels sprouts, as well as some stored items such as beets, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rutabagas, cabbage, celeriac, daikon, onions, garlic, and winter squash (includes different kinds: delicata, butternut, acorn, spaghetti, etc.). WINTER (Feb-March) will include mainly stored items such as beets, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, rutabagas, celeriac, and garlic, and butternut winter squash. SPRING (April-May) will include our own fresh greenhouse grown delicacies such as mesclun lettuce and bunched greens, such as baby kale, mizuna, mustards, bok choi, Swiss chard, etc.
Winter Share prices for 2011-12 are $280, plus a REQUIRED BOX DEPOSIT of $2 per month, or $12 total, for a total of $292 for the season. You will receive $2 BACK for every box you return to the share site. Additional Egg Shares: Also available as a stand-alone item without the vegetable winter share: (1 dozen each month, for each of 6 months) are $30 each (i.e. $5/dozen for 6 pickups). You may buy as many additional egg shares as you want. The value of produce over the season will be equal to or above the price, generally, although we ask for your understanding in case of some kind of unforeseen crisis, as with all CSA relationships.
