Winter Sales Days
After many years of offering a “winter farm share” we are switching to more flexibility by offering open sales days on the farm and winter deliveries by preorder to Petworth and North Chevy Chase.
Winter produce is often a revelation to our customers: the carrots are crisper, the spinach is sweeter, the lettuce keeps for weeks in the fridge. Much as we'd like to take credit, this is nature's way of surviving a frost--anything hardy enough to survive sub-freezing temperatures does so by adding sugars to its cells. Our unheated greenhouses warm up by day and freeze by night, leading to produce that is unlike anything you've eaten before.
We no longer offer a boxed winter share. You can, however, join our “Farm Share” program this fall with a one time payment of $400. This sets up your “tab” which you can then spend on anything that we sell. We’ll deduct your selections from your balance with a 10% member discount.
But you don’t need to join to get our food. Just sign up for our newsletters and you’ll know when we’re open and what we have to offer.
Will we spam you every other day? Nope. We’re here to grow food, not sit at a computer.
We aim to open our farm and to make deliveries once per month in winter months. Sign up for the newsletter that matches your location to be kept in the loop!
