Winter/Spring Section
The Winter/Spring section of Hollow Pumpkin C.S.A. will work a bit differently than the longer Summer/Fall section. We will be distributing two weeks worth of seasonal vegetables every other week over a three month period, from December through February. This will mean there will be 6-7 distribution days. Many of the vegetables will be items that may be kept in your refrigerator for at least two weeks or more.
The estimated seasonal produce over this period of time may consist of: Storage vegetables like sweet potatoes, butternut squash and beets; Root vegetables like carrots and parsnips. Other vegetables we estimate we will have are: Cabbage (red and green), broccoli, leeks, kale, chard, spinach, oriental greens (like Bok choy and tat soi), salad greens (lettuces), green onions, parsley and dill. We will have a chart available soon. You may expect to see 5 to 6 varieties of produce in you bag. The cost for the Winter/Spring shares will be $180.00.
