Description
Winter share is farm pick-up, market-style only.
Our winter share is similar to our main season share where we display a variety of storage crops and fresh greens each week (lettuce mix, salad mix, kale, Asian greens, arugula, spinach, micro greens, carrots, salad turnips, roasting turnips, winter squash, potatoes, salad radishes, herbs, onions, garlic, scallions, frozen summer produce like tomatoes, peppers and ginger and other winter veggies). Certain meats and occasionally eggs will also be available in the selection.
Each item will have a number, or points, written on the label and your job is to add up the value getting to 30 points. It is just fine to go over 30 some weeks and go under other weeks, or pay any overflow when you remember, just balance that out yourself over the course of the share. For instance, if you will be away one week, you can use 10 additional points the previous week and 20 the following to make up the 30 that you missed. Your personal balance week to week is not something we care to keep track of but rather trust you to manage over the season.
Please remember to bring your own bags each week.
Additional notes
- This year we are taking a 2-week break from the farm share the weeks of December 24 and December 31. There will be no share pick up on these weeks.
- Winter weather can be tough! We have several hoophouses from which to protect and pick crops as well as additional beds out in the field under row cover. We’ll do our best to provide a good variety of winter veggies each week but if we get nailed with snow and ice, variety will be limited. If we have to extend or postpone the share, we will.
On-farm pick up is at 2351 Glade Road, Blacksburg Va 24060, available Tuesdays starting at 8 am. Pick up is self-serve and shares will be available for pick up after Tuesday and throughout the week.
