It’s harder to get local fresh produce in the winter season, but for Fort Greene / Clinton Hill residents there’s a new CSA you can take advantage of. I got an email in my Mommy FTW inbox from someone at Red Jacket Orchards with all the info:
Red Jacket Orchards is proud to announce a CSA for the winter season. The winter fruit CSA will provide members with weekly shares of farm-fresh fruit from November til December. Throughout the CSA winter season, Red Jacket Orchards harvests pears and over 25 varieties of apples. Winter shares will also highlight our freshly pressed juices and our pantry items, such as Apple Butter, Apple Sauce, and various different flavors of jam.

Full shares are priced at $17 per week and half shares are $10 per week. To see a sample share list and for more information on how to sign up visit the Red Jacket Orchards blog or email them at redjacketorchardscsa@gmail.com.
