Winter 2026 CSA Basket Subscription - Ottawa Farm Fresh
2026 Winter CSA Baskets
When you join the Winter Abundance CSA, you’ll receive up to 16 weekly baskets filled with fresh, hearty vegetables to keep you nourished and cozy all season long. Each week’s basket reflects the rhythms of winter, shifting month by month to bring you the very best of what’s in season.
As the snow falls outside, you’ll enjoy a plethora of hearty staples like carrots, beets, potatoes, cabbage, winter squash, and garlic from our cold room. Thanks to our caterpillar tunnels and greenhouse, most weeks you’ll get a steady supply of fresh kale, chard, spinach, arugula, and our indoor-grown microgreens. By late winter and early spring, look forward to the first tender, frost-kissed greens , a refreshing preview of the growing season ahead.
Here’s a sample of what you might find over the course of the season:
Root Medley: carrots, beets, potatoes, rutabaga, turnips, daikon radish, sun chokes, onions
Mixed Veggies: cabbage, squash, celeriac, celery, sweet potatoes, parsnips, kohlrabi, apples, garlic
Large Greens: kale, chard, bok choi, radicchio, lettuce, herbs
Salad Greens: arugula, spinach, mesclun mix, baby kale
Microgreens
Surprise Treats: canned goods, herbal teas, bulk foods, lacto-ferments, eggs, or 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.
