Below is a list of expected share items for the 2011-2012 season. These approximations are based on the produce Winter Sun Farms has already contracted with farmers to grow for this year. As with any CSA, mother nature dictates whether we have, for example, more berries or less corn. Each item is a package of individually quick frozen (IQF) vegetable and fruit. The IQF process freezes each kernel of corn, each green bean, which not only maximizes flavor, but allows you to use what you need, and put the rest of the package back in the freezer. We freeze at the peak of freshness, often hours after the farmer's harvest. This ensures optimal nutritional content and maximum freshness!
We support farmers by purchasing the best of what is available each season. Because this varies from year to year we cannot predict in advance exactly which items will be offered until the crops have been harvested and frozen. Although specific crop availability may vary each year, there are several crops which freeze well that will most likely be in the subscription each year. As the produce is received from the farmers and processed, we will keep you posted on specifically which items you can look forward to tasting.
