With these whirlwind weeks of holiday cooking and new years celebrations, it seems like it was just yesterday but it was actually a few weeks ago on December 17th that we had our first distribution of our 5 month Winter season. We figured before we start posting all the amazing things we have been cooking/baking/preserving, it was about time we did an informational post about the December shares….
Winter Sun Vegetable Share
This month’s distribution included 6 frozen items. Typically we get 5 items plus a fresh bag of pea shoots. Unfortunately, early December was a hard one for pea shoots. The farm that we get our pea shoots from, Little Seed Gardens in Chatham, NY, was hit particularly hard with a cold snap and they lost their pea shoots. (The plan as it stands is to have pea shoots again in January and in subsequent months.) Therefore, in December we all got an extra frozen item in place of the pea shoots.
The December share included the following:
- 24 oz jar of Tomato Puree from Taliaferro Farm & Williams Farm
- Butternut Squash Puree from Black Horse Farm in Coxsackie, NY
- Winterbor Kale from Stoneledge Farm in South Cairo, NY
- Blueberries from Mead Orchards Farm in Tivoli, NY
- Green Beans from Markristo Farm in Hillsdale, NY
- Diced Peppers from Hepworth Farm in Milton, NY
- Sweet Corn from Gills Farm in Hurley, NY
