Newsletter & Bag Contents: Winter Week 10

Hi there!

Regardless of the weather outside, we promise it's still winter! Lots of rain coming up, so we have a bag that will keep your kitchen warm and cozy. Invite some friends over for brunch while you start planning your spring gardens !

Including this week, there are six share weeks left in the season, and pretty soon, you'll start to see the first signs of spring in your bag: asparagus, ramps, strawberries and more. If you know anyone who wants to join us for the rest of the share, they can hop on anytime and we'll pro-rate their share. Send them here to start their subscription whatever week they'd like.

THE EARLY BIRD RATES END NEXT WEEK!!!

Sign up for your Summer Share and make your first payment by March 1st, 2018 , you'll get our lowest rates: Small Shares starting at just $25 per week and Large Shares at $40 per week. Click here to learn more and click here to sign up .

A chicken in every pot, or so the saying goes! Week 10's bag features a plump, roasting bird. If you're new to cooking a whole chicken, check out our Guide to Cooking a Whole Chicken, or our Pinterest Board with lots of chicken recipes. And we hope you're all healthy as horses, but if not, homemade chicken soup is the best remedy we know for a cold.

You'll also have a 3# bag of potatoes to make some mash, carrots, a head of lettuce, apples & a pint of frozen corn to make the sides. And because we all have to eat breakfast, too, you'll also get a quart of our creamy pourable Guernsey yogurt, frozen blueberries and frozen strawberries, as well as a two-pound bag of organic rolled oats.

Instead of the chicken, we're giving the Vegetarians some more brunchy options: a quart of maple syrup (tapped from our grove of century-old Maple Trees at Wholesome Valley Farm) and a bag of Crazy Monkey Granola. You'll also get a pound of Ohio City Pasta's linguine for a quick workweek dinner.

REMINDERS

Early Bird Rates end next week on March 1st!

Our Early Bird Rates are the best deal you can get on our Summer Share. The absolutely cheapest (average cost per week) option is to get a share and pay upfront on the Early Bird, and that average weekly cost for the entire 22 week share starts at just $25 .

To snag these deals:

Make sure your Winter Account is totally paid off ($0 balance)
Sign up for your share before March 1st
Make your first payment (either the first of the 6 monthly installment payments on the Payment Plan or the Full Upfront Option) by March 1st
That's it!

You'll be locked into these rates for the whole Summer Share, and it's going to be delicious. If you have any questions, you can always send us an email or give us a call ( 800-861-8582 .) If you miss the Early Bird, you can still sign up at any point but we'll be switching over to our regular pricing on March 2nd.
