A winter share includes fresh greens from our greenhouses alongside a variety of storage vegetables. Some items are best used within the week after pickup, and other items will store well.
Each delivery will include 8-9 varieties of produce. The total quantity per pick-up is larger than our regular season share, and smaller than our big Thanksgiving share. Over the course of the season, the shares will likely include:
Best used fresh: Spinach, Cooking Greens (kale, collards, asian greens), Salad greens (lettuce mix, arugula, pea shoots)
Stores well in the fridge: Carrots, Beets, Turnips, Green, Red and Napa Cabbage, Winter Radishes
Stores well at room temperature: Winter Squash, Sweet Potatoes, Onions, Potatoes, Garlic
Most of the items in the share will be from our own fields and greenhouses here at Hearty Roots, certified organic. A few items may be sourced from nearby certified organic or certified naturally grown farms run by friends we know and trust.
