Mariquita Farm: Harvest Schedule

Harvest Schedule

We have a 36 week season, delivering shares from March through Thanksgiving. We schedule our planting so that crops are harvested during the seasons they grow and taste best. Planting dates are based on our experience, as well as weather and soil conditions. We hope mother nature cooperates; she usually indulges us, but from time to time we suffer delays or even may lose a crop. Therefore, please note that this is a planned schedule, but it is not guaranteed.

The following items are grown throughout the season, and we expect to deliver them each month:

arugula
broccoli
carrots
cooking greens*
fresh herbs green onions
lettuces
radishes

* Each week, one of the following types of cooking greens is available: spinach, chard, kale, arugula, mustard greens, collards, bok choi, rapini(broccoli rabe), mizuna, hon sai tai, tat soi, orach(an early form of spinach), garden cress, turnip greens
