Winter Wellness CSA Openings!

 Winter Wellness CSA 2024

Greens are growing and the winter greenhouse is filling up at a good pace!

Last year our Winter Greens CSA evolved into our Winter Wellness CSA, which felt good and natural, and was well received. Let’s go again!!

 


As always, the highlight is our winter greens! Pea shoots, microgreens and salad mix will be accompanied by canned goods and herbal wellness items. This season the apple harvest WAS abundant, so apples will accompany the first 2-3 pick ups


Winter Greens Feature – organic pea shoots, zesty microgreens, mustard greens salad mix – one per pick up.

Canned Goods Feature – applesauce, apple butter, jam/jelly, pizza sauce, salsa – with 1-2 items in each share pick up.

Herbal Wellness Items Feature – one salve, lotion bar, elderberry syrup kit and more – holistic wellness comes from more than just food.

Produce Items Feature – apples 2-3x, garlic 1x, radish.

 

Winter Wellness CSA will have 7 pick-ups November—March. We like to start the week before Thanksgiving. Pick ups will look like à Nov(1), Dec(2), Jan(2), Feb(1), Mar(1), by my best estimate, pick ups per month. Greens are picked up at the farm store, or the Mankato Winter Farmers Market (ONLY if dates line up). Shares are roughly every several weeks, dependent on the growth of greens. I am better at anticipating this now, but every once and a while I may have to push back a week if growth is slow (clouds and cold and such). Flexibility is a must.

 

Investment is $290. $145 due up front for reservation, with remaining $145 due by first pick up.

 

Eggs – In the past I have reserved ahead but cannot this year. We have more regular, weekly farm store customers, so availability is more limited. As always, I will do what I can for you! I am at chicken maximum capacity, so I am a little at their whim!

 

Holler to reserve your share. There are only 9 available!
