During the winter-spring months, when Sassafras Hill Farm harvests limited produce, we source produce from our network of organic/sustainably grown farms. Each package is filled with high quality, nutrient dense, Certified Naturally Grown (CNG), Organic (OG), or Sustainable Grown (SG) produce. Fresh Essentials is an interim program between April and when our CSA program starts in June. Presently, our CSA program is sold out for the 2021 season but please get in touch with us so we can place your name on our Waiting List, click here.

Selection varies from week to week, offering variety within the six categories listed below:

• Staple Items - e.g., Onions, Potato, Carrots, Celery

• Raw Greens - e.g., Romaine, Arugula, Butter Lettuce

• Cooking Greens - e.g., Spinach, Chard, Broccoli Rabe

• Vegetables for Sides or Main Dishes - e.g., Summer/Winter Squash, Easter Egg Radish, Green Beans, Tomatoes, Beets

• Fresh Herbs - e.g., Basil, Cilantro

• Fruit - e.g., Apples, Strawberries, Blueberries, Lemons & Limes, Cara Cara Oranges, Pears, Mangos

If, at the last minute an item becomes unavailable or is in short supply, we will make the best possible substitution at the time.
