About the winter produce subscription
Our winter produce subscription consists primarily of packages of frozen produce grown in NY or PA within 200 miles of Binghamton and frozen in season at the height of their flavor. We work with a processor in the Hudson Valley who uses IQF freezing, a process which results in a very high quality finished product.The IQF process freezes each kernel of corn, each green bean, which not only maximizes flavor, but allows you to use what you need, and put the rest of the package back in the freezer. We freeze at the peak of freshness, often hours after the farmer's harvest. That is why our flavor is so fresh and delicious! The subscription also includes fresh greens and storage produce, most of which come from within 50 miles or less of Binghamton.

Subscription Contents
Listed below you'll find the contents of our 2012-2013 5-month Individual size winter produce subscription. This is an approximation of the share to give you an idea of what to expect, but it is subject to change.
Because of the unpredictable nature of farming, we cannot guarantee exactly which vegetables and fruits will be available in what quantities in our frozen produce subscription. Crop failures, weather events, and pest problems are all realities of small farming which supporters of small farms need to understand. Part of eating locally is working with the ingredients that are available in our region. We do promise that we will purchase what tastes, looks, and processes or stores best each season so that our customers get to enjoy the true seasonal flavors of the area we live in.
There are two choices of sizes. A 5-month Individual subscription will include 40 items over the course of 5 months, or 8 items per month. The Family/Herbivore subscription provides 75 items over 5 months, or 15 items per month. We recommend the Individual size for one person (or anyone with extremely limited freezer space) and the Family/Herbivore size for households of two or more people OR one person who eats a lot of veggies.
Shares are distributed monthly (see pick-up locations here). Pricing can be found here.
