So, what is CSA?
CSA stands for
Community Supported Agriculture
Customers become members by pre-purchasing a share of the farm’s harvest before the season begins. Once the harvest comes in, members get a weekly share of
delicious, pre-packed, vegetables for 13 weeks.
Members also share in the farming risk. Extreme weather or pests may result in reduced quantity; remember the caterpillars of 2018? Conversely, ideal conditions
provide bountiful produce.
“I've been really enjoying this food box from your farm. The variety is great!”

CSA is a great way to know your food.
Because it matters!
We are committed to using sustainable practices.
That means no synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers.
We believe that healthy soil results in healthy produce.
We see ourselves as caretakers of soil quality.
We employ biological practices such as:
composting, minimal tillage,
and under-sowing.
"Knowing your delicious produce is grown sustainably, without chimicals, and with concern for the environment is important to me." - Paula
CSA is a great way to get to know your farmer.
More than just vegetables!
When you sign up for a CSA Membership you become part of our farm family. We want to build a relationship with you so you can have peace of mind knowing who is growing your food. Whether it's chatting with you at
pickup, answering questions by phone, or visiting
the farm - we want to be your farmers.

"Great job.
Have enjoyed everything including the friendship."
- Laura
What can I expect in my weekly share?
It's like getting a present
every week!
Your share is personally packed by your farmers.
We will fill your weekly share with 6 - 8 freshly picked varieties per week. In addition to standard fare you will also find some less common varieties. We want our members to be able to try new things.
Part of CSA is learning to eat with the seasons.
“I loved my CSA.
It was a great way to introduce my baby to a wide variety of new vegetables. The flavour and freshness of their produce was unmatched.”
- Jen
