November Update: Veggies in the Diary Store, Thanksgiving Shares, and Dairy Shares

Starting this week, we have made garlic, shallots, red onions, butternut squash, buttercup squash, lettuce and spinach available in the Dairy Store for purchase. We plan to have some leeks and celeriac available this week as well. We will try to make lettuce and spinach available up until Thanksgiving, or whenever the cold finally kills them off. The other storage crops I mentioned will be available until they run out.

If you had been thinking about purchasing a Thanksgiving share, but weren't sure if it was too late, then you are in luck! We have 3 more vegetable shares available (pre-ordering for cranberries and pies has ended). If you would like to purchase a share, contact Assistant Manager Ryan Wood as soon as possible, either by calling 978-356-1655 x 24, or by sending him an email to rwood@ttor.org. Shares are $80 and are 40 lbs of vegetables. This year's share will include: butternut squash, buttercup squash, sweet potatoes, white storage potatoes, yellow and red onions, garlic, shallots, leeks, carrots, beets, parsnips, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, celeriac, rutabagas, turnips, and mixed radishes. Also, unless we have some truly dramatic weather circumstances before Monday the 25th, it looks like we'll be able to offer lettuce and spinach as part of the share this year as well!

For those of you interested in expanding your CSA participation into the realm of dairy, the Dairy Store is now offering shares:
