Ingredients

Carrots

I love secarroteing the kids in the shareroom snatch up the carrots to snack on while their parents pick up their vegetables for the week. You will see carrots in the share starting early in the spring and lasting all season. 

Storage tips:

Keep carrots away from apples as they will react and become bitter. Carrots store best without the tops. Keep in fridge in a container or plastic bag.

Onions

It is our mission to have a member of the allium family available each week of the season starting with scallions, moving into fresh onions like cipollini, then storage onions, finishing with garlic and leeks.  

Peppers(hot)

Pick your poison!! We love to grow all kinds of hot peppers. We range the heat from mild to knock your socks off, put a tear in your eye spicy hot.

Winter Squash

The last of the cucurbit family to be harvested. Not only do we grow butternut, we grow sweet dumplings, hubbards, and delicata. All come in interesting shapes and sizes. Don't be afraid to try a new one.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are one of those crops that we can never get enough of. It is one of the easiest to freeze or can for the winter. Nothing tastes better than a fresh tomato with fresh basil and a bit of mozzarella. We grow the standard red tomatoes, but we also grow many heirloom varities that range in flavor and size. Some heirloom tomatoes can grow to be over a pound. We also have cherry and paste tomatoes available in our u-pick field for our shareholders to pick for salads and sauces.

 

Our u-pick varieties are cherry and paste tomatoes as well as tomatillos

Cilantro
