What follows is a list of the local vegetables grown by Cane Creek Asparagus & Company and the month we expect to have them available. More will be added as we find new veggies we want to grow for our members! Also, we have provided pages entitled Veggie Identification I and Veggie Identification II. On these pages we have included photos of the vegetables in the approximate order in which they will appear in your CSA Box along with some tips or hints about the various veggies.
We are working with Mother Nature in the farming business and no two years are alike. Please remember this list is not carved in stone, but rather how we trust the season will evolve! We do believe our having over twenty years of CSA Farming production experience in Buncombe County will help, however, a bit of luck is always required!
