 Pete Johnson from Craftsbury who is the owner of Pete's Green's talks about his unique winter
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project.
Pete Johnson runs Pete's Greens, a certified organic 4 season
vegetable farm located in Craftsbury,
Vt.
Pete's Greens has long emphasized
season extension and the farm goal is to provide the greatest vegetable
diversity for as much of the year as possible. This is achieved through a
half acre greenhouse heated with waste vegetable oil, root cellars and other
storage facilities, and this spring the farm is constructing a vegetable
processing kitchen and walk in freezer in order to preserve summer's bounty
for winter sales.
Pete's Greens sells to coop, stores,
restaurants, at the Montpelier
farmers market, and now through their year-round CSA called Good Eats.
