Well, here we are everyone-- it's Week 15 and the final week of the 2016-17 Winter Share season.

It's been an awesome season, and we (and our farmers!) are so grateful for your support. 

Even though the roadside stands and farmers markets mostly pop up in the summer, farming is a year-round job. Our farmers have families to support, machinery to maintain, seeds to buy and animals to keep. Having the Fresh Fork community during the lean winter months makes all the difference to them. Your membership is not only keeping many farms in our area afloat, but encouraging more young farmers to dig in and start growing here. Thanks for your support, and we hope you'll be joining us for the Summer Share 2017, which starts in just 4 more weeks on May 31st.

Just a reminder-- there is a little gap between the Winter and Summer Shares. We need a little time to give our trucks some much needed TLC, train new staff and organize the warehouse! The Summer Share runs from May 31st through October 28th, and the pick ups are every week (for a total of 22 weeks.) If you haven't signed up for summer yet, click here to learn more and secure your spot before we fill up. 

What's in the bag? We have a delicious bag to finish out the season. Everyone will get asparagus and ramps, as well as two pizza dough balls (click here for our Pizza Guide!), a pint of our roasted Heirloom Tomato Sauce, a quart of frozen corn and a head of fresh lettuce. We have some extra asparagus for sale online, too, so get some extra before their short season comes to a close.

The omnivores will get a pork roast, as well as a pound of our bulk Italian sausage, and the vegetarians will get a quart of Guernsey yogurt, a pint each of frozen blackberries and frozen blueberries, and a pound of Butternut Linguine from Ohio City Pasta. 

We have 1# bundles of fresh rhubarb from Wholesome Valley Farm, just $4 per bundle, for sale online. Cook them into jam, or thaw some of your frozen strawberries to try these Jam-Oat Squares (hint-- they freeze well!)
