The Stearns Farm winter share is a way to stay connected to the food we eat as the weather turns colder and the fields prepare for their winter rest.

The share is distributed in two monthly pick ups at the farm (November and December). It typically consists of a variety of root vegetables (carrots, beets, potatoes, parsnips, daikon radishes, sweet potatoes), greens (microgreens, kale, spinach, cabbage), other seasonal items (popcorn, mushrooms, apples, fresh cranberries), onions, and winter squash.

The winter share is scheduled for Saturdays November 21st and December 19th from 10am - 2pm. Dates are somewhat weather dependent, but if dates are moved they will definitely be before Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is no work requirement.

Note: In order to purchase a share, all outstanding debts from previous seasons must be resolved. Stearns Farm reserves the right to cancel a share purchase and refund the purchase price if outstanding debts are not settled in a timely manner.

Anyone can sign up, you don't have to be a current member, please just be sure to add a 2026 membership fee to your order if you are not already a member.
