They always list what is in season on their webpage. This winter you can expect these organic fruits and vegetables: artichokes, beets, broccoli, carrots, English peas, Winter Squash, Lettuces, Parsnips, Favas, Cauliflower, Greens, Chard, Collards, Oranges, Mandarins and Tangerines.

At McGrath Family Farm, they use integrate the use of flowers as a part of their sustainable farming methods. They border some crops with wildflowers to increase pollinizations. Their flowers are grown seasonally and organically as well and some of them are even edible!
