Winter CSA

We’re sorry, but winter shares have SOLD OUT for the 24-25 winter season!
If you’d like to get on our waitlist, please email us at info@philliesbridge.org.

Phillies Bridge Farm Project Winter Shares run from December 6th, 2024 to May 2, 2025, with pickup every other week.  More details on pickup are included below.

The winter share includes a diversity of greens, herbs, roots, onions, garlic, and winter squash. Winter production has to overcome extreme growing conditions and long storage; therefore, the variety is determined by what can be grown in this region in the winter. You will be rewarded with some of the sweetest tasting spinach and kale you have ever eaten and herbs so fresh it will feel like summer in your kitchen.

There is a seasonality to these winter crops. Larger bunches of greens and heads of lettuce will be common in December, while deeper winter gives way to smaller cut greens and unique specialty greens. Similarly, winter squash will be plentiful for the first few months, but likely won’t store into March.

Winter CSA is only available to Phillies Bridge current summer CSA members and is limited to one share per household. At this time we are unable to offer sliding scale for the winter CSA.
