Welcome to Hattie’s Garden Winter CSA! We are excited to kick-off our very first CSA beginning this Saturday, December 7.

Please read through the important text below for swap options, delivery and pick-up times and other important information to ensure you get what you want and when you want it.

Delivery: For those of you who are signed up for delivery, you will receive your order on Saturday morning, December 7.

Pickup: The preferred day for pickup is on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and the shares will be clearly marked for each customer. Pickup on Sunday or Monday is fine, but please contact us in advance to let us know when you would like to come, so we can make sure you have access to the garage.

Swap Items

If you would like to swap please contact us no later than Thursday, December 5 at 6 p.m. to let us know.

• Winterbor Curly Kale
• Daikon Radishes — pulling the rest of our Daikon right now. They will store a long time in the refrigerator and are super good for you.
• Loose Leaf Lettuce — one per customer.
• Arugula
• Mesclun — Hattie’s Garden mesclun is typically a mixture of arugula and lettuce, but will sometimes add other tender young greens during the winter months.

For large shares, if you have no salad mix preference, we’ll surprise you for the second bag. This will also give us some flexibility in the harvest.

Basic Daikon Ideas

• Grate and drizzle with Soy Sauce and eat with grilled fish.
• Cut into matchsticks and use in your salads.
• Grate together with dried hot chili peppers for a nice condiment.
• Add to stir fry or make daikon roasted vegetables.
• Make quick pickled daikon.

Other vegetables are coming and you will begin to find the following items in your shares include Hakurei Turnips, Red Radishes, Carrots, Spinach, Scallions, Beets. In addition, we will supplement your shares with items Hattie does not grow from other growers such as Deep Grass Nursery and Greenbranch Organic Farm.

Depending upon availability, will likely include at least one of the following items each week: Yukon Gold Potatoes, Shallots, Garlic, Sweet Potatoes and Candy Onions.
