Vegetables  –  Dairy – Eggs  –  Vegan Products

FURTHER INFORMATION:

 All categories are either subject to the seasonal availability OR a la carte.  Seasonal availability means you will receive items that are the most fresh and also most plentiful to us.  A la carte means you will have the choice to select your item.

Produce – Weekly

(subject to availability)

 As temperatures drop so does the variety of vegetables available in our climate zone. But, rest assured, the earth still has plenty of bounty.  Some crops are hardy enough to survive without any assistance.  Others are sheltered in passive solar greenhouses which have been winterized to insulate them better.  Here are some items from the local, seasonal harvest that you can expect.

• Micro Greens
• Baby Greens – Kale, Spinach, Lettuce, Collards and Mustard
• Root – Carrots, Turnips, Beets, Radishes
• Potatoes – Yukon Gold and Sweet
• Jerusalem Artichokes

Dairy – Weekly

             (select one item each week)

Featuring a wide variety of dairy (and Non-dairy) items, this category has a selection for everyone.  The milk is coming from grass-fed cows and goats.  For those in Pennsylvania we offer the unpasteurized goodness of raw milk.  If you love the rich complexity of yogurt you will surely enjoy the offering from Seven Stars Farm in Plain or Vanilla flavors.  Butter made the old-fashioned way can sometimes put a welcomed emphasis on a dish and that’s exactly what you can expect from Natural by Nature.   Our animal products are sourced locally from our trusted producers while we have selected the best nationally recognized vegan options available.

Egg or Tofu – Bi-Weekly

(select one item every other week)

In the cold of winter nothing quite surpasses the simple pleasure of an egg -  fried, scrambled or hardboiled – from a pasture-raised chicken.   These eggs are especially nutrient dense because they come from hens that are allowed to forage on several acres of our member farms.

If eggs aren’t your thing then opt for the tofu which is locally produced by Fresh Tofu, Inc. in small batches and, as the name states, very fresh!

Chicken – Once Monthly

(select one item for entire season)

Heritage Breed Chicken  -  Our featured whole chickens are the heritage breed, Freedom Ranger, which will come in 4.5 – 5.5 lb. weight.  The Freedom Ranger is known for its superior taste – a favorite of gourmet chefs, especially in France where the breed originated before being localized by Lancaster County farmers.  They are different from conventional chicken breeds because they were not bred to grow quickly.  For this reason they are well-adapted to natural, free-roaming foraging systems which are utilized on our farms.

$60

To be delivered weeks 3, 6 & 9

Bread –Weekly

(subject to availability)

Using organic, locally sourced and milled wheat, plus all organic ingredients, each week will feature a different style of bread hand-made nearby in the city of Lancaster by A Loaf of Bread Bakery.  Rustic French, Italian, Multi-Grain & Sour Dough are just some of their hearth-style varieties offered.  The dough is their specialty and it takes 2-3 days to mix, ferment and bake each loaf.  The final weight will be one pound.
