2025 shares now live: Thank you for your support, dedication, and commitment. We love growing food for you! We know this is a unique way to purchase your food but it makes for a wonderful relationship that I cherish. All 2025 shares are now on sale: click here to purchase.
This weeks share: I really want to take a moment to get into this share, this is a bit unique but I am really proud of this share. We commited this season to provide more items grown at White Barn Farm. In previous seasons the winter share has at times been 75% grown at other farms, that we enjoy supporting.
This weeks share will be 100% White Barn Farm grown produce!!! I am especially proud of this because our temps this week will reach close to 1 degree, and 5 items will be coming out of our unheated greenshouse (great job field crew). We have items from our fields from early November, that have been stored in our cooler. We have my favorite storage green sugarloaf radicchio (click here for recipe), and our WBF provisions such as hot sauce and salsa verde. Dig in, get creative and enjoy!
Why so many plastic bags? Great question- the answer is plastic bags provide storage life to our winter produce. These plastic bags store humidity while also breathing just enough to keep our produce lasting in your fridge for the extra weeks you need them for. Plus this week is going to be mighty cold so we want to limit your time weighing and deciding in the barn. Let our staff weigh everything for you!
Extra special bonus discount this week, because you are all so awesome. We are offering a special 10% discount on all non WBF grown food this week, this can round out your share and get you through the off week.
This brings me to my final question, thanks for holding on. We want to launch our 2025-2026 winter share and would love your feedback. So we have created a few questions, if you don't mind we would love your feedback!
*Remember if you purchase the season bundle you will be eligible for purchasing a 2025/2026 winter share at a discounted price, so lock yourself in now.
Thank you all for all you do. Until next time.

Storage Tips
Greens and Herbs: Store best in your refrigerator. Keep in a closed plastic bag. If ever feeling overwhelmed by greens, pop a bag in your freezer! They can be used frozen in smoothies or into anything you are going to cook like soups or stews.
Tomatoes: Store at room temperature.
Onions: Store onions in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Maintain storage temperature of 45-55°F. Do not wrap onions in plastic or store in plastic bags. A lack of air circulation will reduce shelf life.
Potatoes: Should be stored in a cool, dark place with good ventilation. A temperature range of 45-50°F is ideal. Avoid storing them near onions, as both release gases that can accelerate spoilage.
Root Vegetables: Wrap unpeeled and unwashed in a dry paper towel, and store them in an airtight food storage container or bag. Store in the coolest part of your refrigerator.
Sweet Potatoes: These will keep well on your counter for at least a week. For longer term storage, keep your sweet potatoes in a paper bag or basket in a kitchen cabinet, pantry, or basement. Choose a cabinet that's not near the heat of your oven. A spot closer to the floor will be cooler. Sweet potatoes prefer a temperature between 50 and 60 degrees.
Winter Squash: store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Storage temperatures should be 50 to 55°F. Do not store squash near apples, pears, or other ripening fruit. Ripening fruit release ethylene gas which shortens the storage life of squash.
