Winter Basket
How do the Winter Baskets Work?
Les paniers hiver sont constitués de 12 livraisons sur 24 semaines. La livraison a lieu toutes les deux semaines, cela signifie moins de semaines à braver les éléments pour vos légumes ! Cela signifie également que les paniers sont un peu plus grands que les paniers d’été afin que vous ayez suffisamment de légumes pour vous nourrir jusqu’à votre prochain panier.
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. Obviously the greens and frozen things are not included but most other veggies and the apples are.
Here is an example of the baskets during the season
Décembre : pak choï ou roquette, chou frisé, épinards, 9 lb de légumes d’hiver de votre choix (racines, oignons, chou, pommes, courge, etc.)
Février : Épinards, pousses de tournesol, 10 lb de légumes d’hiver de votre choix
April: Mesclun lettuce mix, arugula or mizuna, summer radish, frozen dill or tomatoes, 9 lbs of winter veg of your choosing

Price
The winter baskets are a bit bigger so they cost a bit more than the summer baskets. here is the cost breakdown:
40$/week * 12 weeks = 480$
+ 20.70$ (reseau de fermier de familles fees) = 500.70$
*These fees are waived if you are already a member of the RFF from a summer basket subscription.
