These are the garden celebrities of the summer! Take advantage of an abundance of our heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, eggplants and melons available during the peak of summer.
Expect 10-11 weeks of deliveries
Alliums
For the serious chef! We can’t think of too many recipes that don’t include garlic or onions of one sort or another. If you want to make sure you aren’t caught without some on hand take this option. We plan to grow, shallots, green onions, cippolinis, storage onions and garlic!
Expect 13-14 weeks of deliveries.
Spicy
Some like it hot, some don’t. We don’t include our spicy peppers in our regular baskets, because, frankly, some people can’t handle it. For those who like some heat, expect Habaneros, Jalapeños, pablanos and Cayenne varieties
Expect about 5 weeks of deliveries
Storage
The best way to extend the season is to store veggies that keep. We plan to grow winter squash varieties, Spaghetti squash, butternut, acorn, delicata, pumpkins and hubbard squash that keep well for months in a cold room or any cool place you have in your home. If you want to still be eating veggies from the farm in December, choose this option.
Expect 3 deliveries at the end of the season
