  • Winter CSA Week 6

    Hello CSA Members!

    We had CSA pick-up just in time before the snow hit this week. It couldn’t have been better timing. Part of the reason why I love Winter CSA is the beautiful greens we have throughout. They are such a treat. When I’m lacking inspiration for cooking with them, I try to change it up or go back to old recipes I’ve loved that I haven’t made in awhile.

    One of those recipes is a lemony pasta with chard and parmesan. It’s a delicious, simple weeknight meal that comes together in under 30 minutes.

    We’re grateful for all of your support. Happy Thanksgiving! See you next week.

    Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 6:

    1 – Leeks or Onions or Shallots
    2 -Radishes or Roasted Chilies
    3 – Turnips or Carrots or Beets
    4 – Bok Choy or Cabbage
    5 – Salad Greens
    6 – Chard or Collards or Kale
    7 – Honeynut Squash or Potatoes

  • Winter CSA Week 5

    Hello CSA Members!

    Many of you have been asking what to do with rutabaga. It is great roasted, added to mashed potatoes, or in soup. I always love to roast a bunch of root veggies and add them to a salad with some goat cheese, nuts, and a simple dressing.

    Just a reminder again- this week’s pick-up will be on Tuesday since Thanksgiving is on Thursday! See you at pick-up.

    Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 5:

    1 – Parsley or Radishes or Onions

  • Winter CSA Week 3

    Hello CSA Members!

    One of the best parts of CSA is seeing how excited people get about fresh veggies. It reminds us why we do what we do everyday. I’m grateful for the community of Red Wagon and all the returning and new faces I’ve seen these past couple weeks.

  • Winter CSA Week 12

    Hello CSA Members!

    It’s hard to believe we’re already in week 12 of winter CSA. The season seems to have flown by.

    This week’s low temperatures make harvesting and outdoor work extra exciting (challenging!). We’re running the heater in our greenhouse now, which we hadn’t had to do yet this winter.

    Today, the alpacas, llama, and goats at the Longmont farm location were lucky enough to be allowed to roam about. They got very excited at the aromas of parsley and lettuce, as I brought the harvest out!

    Below is a list of what we hope to bring you during week 12 of our winter CSA.

    1 – Greens
    2 – TBD
    3 – Roasted Peppers or Rutabaga
    4 – Carrots or Beets
    5 – Turnips
    6 – Leeks
    7 – Winter Squash (Various: kabocha; blue hubbard; delicata)

    PLEASE NOTE: Winter CSA pickup is from 3pm-6pm. The CSA season runs through January 25th, 2024. (January 18th is the last pickup for Biweekly A members.)

  • Winter CSA Week 11

    Hello CSA Members!

    Happy 2024! Here’s to a joyful, healthy year. We all have a head start on health, of course, eating local organic produce on a regular basis.

    Can you believe that we are still harvesting a few crops from the field? We’ve been so fortunate in that sense with this mild winter weather. It sort of balances out the late spring/summer that set us back earlier this year. Turnips, carrots, and kohlrabi are still going strong out there.

    We’re starting to move from our growing tunnels to our greenhouse for things like lettuce, kale, chard, and bok choi. Here’s a photo from last week; what gorgeous afternoons with the sun so low in the sky.

    Below is a list of what we hope to bring you during week 11 of our winter CSA.

    1 – Greens Zone
    2 – TBD
    3 – Roasted Peppers or Winter Radish
    4 – Carrots
    5 – Turnips
    6 – Allium Choice
    7 – Winter Squash (Delicata)

    PLEASE NOTE: This year, we are holding our pickup from 3pm-6pm (an hour earlier than summer CSA).
