Winter Basket
How do the Winter Baskets Work?
Winter baskets consist of 12 deliveries (every other week) or 6 deliveries (once a month) over 24 weeks. Deliveries take place less frequently, this means that the baskets are a little larger than the summer baskets so that you have enough vegetables to feed you until your next basket.
During the drop off we put all of our veggies out and you will be given a weight, for example 11 pounds. This means you can choose what you would like and weigh out up to 11 pounds of whatever. We like to call it the ”choose your own adventure” style of basket.
The greens and frozen things are not included in the by weight section but most other veggies and the apples are.
Here is an example of the baskets during the season
December December: garlic, pac choi or arugula, frozen baby ginger, kale or spinach, 9 lbs of winter veg of your choice (roots, onions, cabbage, apples, squash, etc)
February February: Garlic, spinach, sunflower sprouts, frozen cherry tomatoes, 11 lbs of winter veg of your choosing
April April: Mesclun lettuce mix, arugula or mizuna, summer radish, frozen dill or coriander, 9 lbs of winter veg of your choosing
