Rooting For Winter

Rooting for Winter: Connect with farms for winter carrots, beets, potatoes, and more!
We ROOT for winter vegetables all winter long! While temperatures drop, snow falls, and the ground freezes, our farmers stay busy producing winter crops that you can serve all throughout the season! Ask your farmer if they are growing or storing these local winter products:
  • Kale
  • Butternut squash
  • Potatoes
  • Apples
  • Carrots
  • Beets
  • Dairy
  • Mixed greens (sometimes available in early and late winter)
Download our free Rooting for Winter and Native American FoodWays materials below to hand out during taste tests, in classrooms, or at community events. For more information, reach out to Abby.
