Winter Share Info And Sign Up
2008 - 2009 season open for enrollment
Sign up for Take Root Farm's winter share program. 2008 - 2009 season starts October 29th and continues thru February 18th (16 weeks). Make sure your family gets fresh organic vegetables and fruits all winter and save money too!!
Since the produce comes directly from the supplier, it is much fresher than what sits on retail store shelves.
How it works
2008 - 2009 season starts October 29th and continues through February 18th.
- Shares consist of both vegetables and fruit
- All produce is certified organic
- Members pay wholesale prices plus a small mark up to cover labor for packing, and managing the system itself. All proceeds go right into funding the CSA farm operation
- Members save over retail organic prices, while supporting their local organic farm
- Members pick up their shares at the farm each week.
- Members can buy extra of certain items or exchange items they don't want in their box for something different. Details are posted at the farm.
- As available add seasonal u-pick greens and herbs for free!
Size of shares
Regular shares will feed an average family of 2 to 4 people. Many larger families will also find it to be plenty for them. Small shares will feed an average family of 1 to 2 people. Each family varies in the amount of produce they consume.
There is such a wide variety of produce in our winter shares. Here are some of the things we had last year. Lettuce, celery, onions, cauliflower, broccoli, radishes, leeks, different types of potatoes, peppers, carrots, peas, beans, several types of winter squash, yams, beets, cilantro, cucumbers, spinach, gr. onions, cabbage, different kinds of tomatoes, salad mixes, Asian pears, pears, apples, bananas, oranges, kiwi, grapefruit, avocados, tangerines, lemons, satsumas, etc.
Each week boxes will contain between 5 and 7 varieties of vegetables and 3 to 5 varieties of fruits.
This is a great way for people to afford to eat organic. Members eat higher quality produce and pay much less than at the grocery store, all while supporting their local farm.
Pick up days and times
Winter share season is October 29th through February 18th. Pick up times are Wednesday 2:00 pm until 7:00 pm. Thursday 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. Members can pick up their produce anytime during these hours on either day. Members can opt out for a week and receive a credit if they give at least three days notice.
