your Winter Harvest Box now and eat locally from September to May</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">Produce comes from a dozen small farms and
producers from Hazelton to Quick. All products are seasonal, and veggies and
fruits are organic, natural or wild-crafted. Some of what you’ll find in a
Harvest Box: potatoes, onions, garlic, squash, carrots, cabbage, beets, salad
greens, frozen blueberries or strawberries, dried mushrooms, fresh sprouts,
pickles, and more. Box Plans come in family and single sizes. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">The Harvest Box is more than a monthly box
of veggies. You’ll work alongside our producers on their family farms during
the summer and early fall. Depending on your Box Plan, you’ll contribute four
to 25 service hours. It’s a great chance to get your hands dirty and reduce the
cost of your Harvest Box. Farm work-bees are family friendly… and fun!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">By buying a Harvest Box in the spring, you
invest in local producers, supporting them when they need it most. And in the
absence of local markets during the winter months and the modern reliance on
imported food, it’s a challenge for producers to market their products
year-round. The Harvest Box Program builds infrastructure that strengthens our
local economy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">A Winter Harvest Box also makes an
exceptional gift for that special person, family or community organization. And it’s
quite possibly the best wedding gift ever!</span></p>
