Welcome to winter and our winter CSA!

For the first time in a few years, we have a real winter — for better or for worse! Apples are an excellent storage crop and the delicious things you can make from apples are practically unlimited so for February and March again this year, we’re happy to offer our winter CSA!

What can you expect from a Sweetland Orchard winter CSA?

• Four packages delivered to a pick-up location every other Sunday morning starting February 8, and thereafter on February 22, March 8, and March 22.

• Apples — one half-peck, as long as they’re still in good condition. This year’s crop was excellent and we set aside a good number of apples for the winter CSA this year. The Prairie Spy and GoldRush, in particular, should be fantastic. There are also still some Honeycrisp and other varieties bumping around.

• Fresh-pressed cider — one half-gallon

• An apple pie or gluten-free crisp (frozen, you bake at home)

• Apple chips

• Jam, jelly, apple butter, or some other jarred, preserved deliciousness

• You can also order hard cider with your box

Prior to every delivery, you’ll also have the opportunity to order add-ons to your regular box like eggs, frozen whole duck (that’s a weird one, I know), or more of anything that’s already in your box.

Pick up locations include Ale Jail St. Paul, Dogwood Coffee St. Paul, Dogwood Coffee East Lake, Dogwood Coffee NE, Well Nourished Farmstand (New Brighton), Ale Jail Crystal, France 44, Sweetland Orchard
