Fall 2025 + Winter 2026 CSA Basket Subscription - Ottawa Farm Fresh

2025 Fall + 2026 Winter CSA Baskets

Treat yourself to a fall and winter of fresh, local goodness!

Your Fall and Winter baskets will change with the season. Early in the fall, you may see a few lingering summer veggies before the harvest shifts to vibrant greens, nourishing roots, and sweet squash. As winter settles in, expect hearty staples like carrots, beets, potatoes, cabbage, winter squash, and garlic from our cold room. Our caterpillar tunnels and greenhouse keep the greens coming, kale, chard, spinach, and arugula, plus a fresh boost from our indoor-grown microgreens.

By late winter and early spring, your baskets will start to feature frost-kissed greens as the earth awakens, bringing a welcome taste of the season ahead.

This is the essence of eating local year-round, experiencing a menu that gradually adapts and provides exactly what your body craves through every season.

Here is some of what you can expect to make an appearance over the course of the season:

• Root medley: carrots, beets, daikon radish, potatoes, rutabaga, sun chokes, onions, turnips
  * Mixed veggies: Cabbage, squash, celeriac, celery, sweet potatoes, parsnips, celery root, kohlrabi, apples, garlic
  * Large greens: kale, chard, lettuce, radicchio, herbs, bok choi, tokyo bekana, head lettuce
  * Salad greens: arugula, spinach, baby kale, mesclun mix
  * Microgreens
  * Surprise items: canned goods, herbal teas, bulk foods, lacto-ferments, eggs, tofu

Winter CSA Real Talk

We think that the Winter CSA is awesome, and so do most of the folks who joined us last season. However, it's important to know that the Winter CSA is a bit different from the Summer CSA, especially when it comes to the variety of produce offered. Before signing up, we encourage you to consider what you typically eat during the winter months and how our offerings align with that.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Root Vegetables Galore: Root vegetables are the heart of the Winter CSA. Expect to find them in your basket every week, so make sure they fit well with your winter diet.

Fresh Greens: While you will get some fresh greens throughout most of the season, they’re not always guaranteed and their variety may be limited due to the colder weather, particularly through February.

Weather and Absences: Winter weather, illnesses, and travel can affect your ability to pick up your baskets. We suggest planning for a few extra holiday weeks off. You can always add more baskets later in the season if needed.

Greenhouse Produce: During winter, we only grow greens and herbs in our greenhouse which remains unheated for most of the winter. You will not find energy intensive, heat loving crops like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers in the Winter CSA.
