Winter 2009 -2010

This is our first year offering a winter CSA share.  The season started out great, then we were hit by a sudden deep freeze.  The coldest temps in a decade.  We covered and insulated the crops in the ground the best we could.  We tried to keep our winter squash, onions, and potatoes warm enough, but it was a challenge.  They were stored three miles away and with icy roads and power outages, we did our best.  Luckily it worked.  We did lose a few crops in the ground (as did many farmers), but enough survived that we were able to fill our CSA baskets!  Spring is just around the corner – whew!
