Our 2026 fall farm share will have 10 weekly pickups (Wednesday or Saturday), running from early October through mid December (week of October 4 through week of December 13). This is a great way to commit to eating locally as the seasons change, and experience the late-fall bounty! It’s hard to beat tomato season, but late fall is one of the tastiest times for eating local veggies–tons of frost-sweetened greens, a wide variety of root vegetables, with fresh herbs and alliums (onions, leeks, and garlic) to heighten flavors. At each farm share pick up, you’ll get a selection of freshly harvested produce and storage crops from our farm. We supplement our own crops with storage crops like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and winter squash from a few other local farms (certified organic) to add a little more variety. We’ll also send out an email with each week’s share providing cooking suggestions and our recommendations for what to eat first/ what will keep longest, and how to store your produce to help it last as long as possible (some of these veggies will last for months if you store them properly).

What’s in a share?
What’s in a share? Whereas our summer farm share leans heavily on whatever is in season (lots of greens early in the season; lots of tomatoes and zucchini and green beans and cukes in the middle of the summer), our fall share will vary more from week to week. You can expect 6 veggies each week; in each share, we generally will aim to include:
- something hearty (potatoes/ sweet potatoes/ a bunch of different types of winter squash)–most of these store well, so if you don’t get to them, you can store them for later
- some type(s) of root vegetable (carrots/ beets/ radishes/ turnips)–most of these store well, so if you don’t get to them, you can store them for later
- some type of allium (onions/ leeks/ scallions/ garlic)
- a couple of different greens (usually something that’s good cooked, and something that’s good raw–think spinach, lettuce, arugula, mizuna, cabbage, kale, swiss chard, bok choy).
- and we’ll round out the share with some random other items that are less easily categorized (eg fennel, fresh ginger, kohlrabi, fresh herbs, pea shoots)
