Anticipated Harvest

In the spring we can expect cool weather crops like lettuce, mesclun mix, arugula, the dark leafy greens, and more, followed closely with strawberries, hothouse tomatoes, spring onions, squash, broccoli, and new potatoes. As the season becomes warmer, we will see blueberries, peppers, heirloom tomatoes, melons, beans, zucchini, eggplant, sweet corn, and sweet onions. As cooler weather approaches, sweet potatoes and winter squash make their appearance, with melons, tomatoes, and peppers continuing. The season will come to a close with cool weather crops once again like lettuce, greens, arugula, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet carrots, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and more.
The following is a list of vegetables and fruit we expect to have throughout the season. E-mail GoldenRuleCSA@gmail.com for a detailed list of foods by week.
