3 TIPS for Winter Veggies + SPECIALS

Posted on January 1st, 2022 by Tessa DeMaster

Happy New Year to all of our Farm Friends!  You all made 2021 a super year and we want you to know that we APPRECIATE you! 

Winter veggies are only boring if you keep doing the same things with them.  You'll find the same veggies will repeat in your farm shares for the final four deliveries. Farmer Reuben will buy some variety from organic farms in Lancaster as he is able, like the sweet potatoes and spinach he plans to get for this week.  TIP: Check out the creative winter soups that members have been creating and sharing in the Winter Share Member Group (see link to join below). TIP: Change your preferences to change up what gets planned for your share. How Preferences Work

TIP: Add CHEESE to make your recipes and meals AMAZING! Farmer Reuben also wants you to try our artisan cheese from our cheese room: Gouda, Alpine, & Blue Cheese. We don't always have our aged cheeses conveniently available through your membership though they can be found at the markets where Steve and Vince bring cheese. We'll keep stocking these cheeses for you as we see how popular they are. You won't regret treating yourself to these fine cheeses.

****SPECIAL PORK CHOP DEAL**** When you place 2 packages of our Willow Haven pork chops in your cart, you will get a spice rub for free (an $8.50 value) There are three rubs to choose from.  Put the one you want in your cart and we will deduct the amount before your card is charged.

****Chocolate Bar Special- 10% off**** We have reduced the price on our Organic Chocolate bars. Two kinds to choose from: Whole Almond & Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Bar OR Extreme Dark Chocolate

Thank you for supporting your local farm family. By supporting us, you have also built a healthier "YOU"!  You are choosing to KNOW where your food is coming from. At Willow Haven Farm we make it easy to get the products you need to keep building a healthy you.

May you have a blessed New Year!

Enjoy your farm food this week!  Your next delivery will be on January 19!
