Fall 2014 CSA.

The Habitat Farm Fall CSA is back this year!

The Fall CSA offers a harvest basket for members every other week for four weeks, beginning the weekend  of October 18th and 19th (or a weekday that following week, as determined by our members). We aim to give you a little over $15 worth of produce in each basket, while you pay just $15. The total cost for the four week subscription is just $60. Purchase two shares for a weekly pickup, eight weeks total.

Fall 2014 CSA members can look forward to: gold nugget winter squash, celery, carrots, potatoes, red onions, heirloom garlic, turnips, radishes, and leeks; fall greens including Chinese cabbage, kale, red mustard, escarole, arugula, spoon mustards, and radicchio; and fresh herbs like sage, thyme, parsley, and cilantro. Don't rule out the possibility of medlars, eggs, or heading cabbage either!

Email us for more information, or to sign up.
