We offer monthly CSA deliveries during the winter because many of the items you receive in your winter box have been harvested in the fall and stored in our long-term storage facility for the duration of the winter. These items can just as successfully be stored at your house for the month.

‍

Prepping and storing produce in your home:

‍

To fully utilize your share, it is very important to take time to properly prep and store the veggies and fruits that you receive. Most of vegetables that we are providing have been picked in the summer and fall and stored carefully up to this point. Removing them from storage speeds their respiration processes. This means winter storage produce must be handled carefully to get the most life out of it. Produce does not last forever. Farmers who store produce throughout the winter expect to throw out at least 1/3 of their crop. I cannot impress this enough; your produce will not last forever. Check all your vegetables from time to time. If anything looks like it might be going south, plan a meal around it ASAP!

‍

We store produce under three separate conditions:

‍

1. Refrigeration (high humidity, low temp of around 35-40oF).
   ‍Most things hold up well in the refrigerator wrapped in a plastic bag or stored in an airtight container.
   
   • Greens (kale, bok choi, spinach, arugula, root veggie tops, herbs, cabbage, etc.)
   • Root vegetables with the tops removed (carrots, parsnips, beets, turnips, radishes, celeriac, kohlrabi)
   • Fruit (apples, pears, cranberries)
   • Brussels and kale sprouts, removed from the stalk
   • Leeks
2. Cool, dry, and dark (low humidity, low temp of around 40-45oF)
   You could store these items in a hallway/closet/porch/basement stairs…basically anywhere that is a bit cooler than your main house, but does not drop to freezing temps. Keep it dark in a paper bag or box.
   
   • Irish potatoes
   • Garlic
   • Onions, shallot
   
   
3. Warm, dry, and dark (low humidity, “warm” temp around 50oF, dark area)
   
   • Sweet potatoes
   • All types of winter squash
