Winter Box - Jan 31- Mar 27, 2024 (every other week)
The 2024 Winter Box Subscription is an 5-week produce box subscription that starts Wednesday, January 31st, 2024 and will run EVERY OTHER WEEK until Wednesday, March 27th. Each box will include 5-7 different different items (ex. root vegetables, apples, greenhouse tomatoes, onions, greens, cucumbers, mushrooms, and other surprises based on availability). Boxes will contain a mix of conventional and organic produce.
The Winter Box will not provide you with enough produce for the entire week, but it will give you a sampling of what we have available right here in Ontario! It's geared toward 1-2 person households or small families.
Farms that we source winter produce include:
- Bowman's Organics (Wallenstein, ON)
- Loco Fields (Stratford, ON)
- Maple Crisp Orchards (Elmira, ON)
- Elmira Produce Auction, a cooperative of farmers selling locally grown wholesale produce.
