Orders will open at 6pm today (Monday) and will close Thursday morning at 8am for Thursday (April 18th) 3pm - 6pm pick-up. This week Fat Moon mushrooms return to our pre-order list and we are offering their Maitake mushrooms for the first time! Maitake mushrooms are also known as Hen of the Woods. They are native to New England but difficult to cultivate so these are a special treat! We will also be offering the popular Farmers’ Mix as well as a few varieties individually: Shiitake, Blue Oyster, and Comb Tooth. We have all of our early season high tunnel crops available this week including pea shoots, radishes, arugula, spinach, kale mix, and mizuna. Most of these early crops do not hold for long in the high tunnels during warm weather so because of the higher temperatures predicted this week this may be the last harvest for some items. See below for a full list of what is available for Thursday pick-up.

Once an item is sold out for the day, it disappears from the online shop.
