Winter Time Harvest

Brookside Farm is a year-round CSA, even without a greenhouse or high tunnels. How do we do that?

Well, the climate here isn't too harsh, so many vegetables can live in the ground throughout the year. Also, a lot of vegetables do well in storage. And lastly, we work in the summer to preserve excess bounty.

Here's the harvest basket list for December 8th:

Fresh at the farm--carrot, parsnip, Jerusalem artichoke, leek, chard, kale, tree collard.

From storage--onion, potato, winter squash, garlic.

Preserved--dried tomato.

Pretty baskets too!
