Brooklyn Thanksgiving Share 2011

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays on the farm. It provides a chance to relax and enjoy the great bounty of the fall-- butternut squash, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, and more.

Every season, we plant extra fall crops in hopes of being able to offer an optional Thanksgiving Share to our members. This year, despite the storms, we still have a really nice variety of items to offer, to keep your household eating local for your Thanksgiving feast and beyond.

What's a Thanksgiving Share?

The Thanksgiving Share is a one-time bonus delivery of fall favorites, good for a Thanksgiving feast, but also good for storing well into the winter.

When & Where do I pick up?

Pick up on Saturday, November 19th (the Saturday before Thanksgiving). Pick up will be at the same location as your regular CSA share, during the same time window (note that in Greenwood Heights the location will be just across the street at Lot 2 restaurant, from 9am - 10am; in East Williamsburg, the time will be from 10am - noon). If you can't make it to pick up, just send a friend or neighbor and tell them to check off your name from the list.

How do I sign up and how much does it cost?

You can purchase your Thanksgiving Share directly through the Hearty Roots Farm web site, using a credit card, debit card, or Paypal account. The cost for the vegetable share, which contains more produce than a typical CSA delivery (since it will store so well), is $35. We estimate that if you were to buy the same produce at the farmers' market or grocery store, you would spend at least $45. Quantities are limited, so please sign up soon.
