Our Farm Share program (CSA) is like a vegetable membership subscription to the farm season. By joining a membership program like this, you will be joining a great community of people who have committed to purchasing produce for the entire season, and are asked to pay in advance for the remainder of the season. By paying in advance, you are helping to reduce the burden of up front costs faced by your farmers, and also allowing for more predictable and reliable week-to-week harvest expectations. You are also securing a share of the freshest, and healthiest produce for you and your family.
All weekly Farm Share orders will be made through our online store, for pick-up or delivery the following Friday (farm only) or Saturday. Members also have access to the online store one day in advance of retail customers, and have first choice over the items each week.
Through our online store ordering system, you will be able to shop and choose as much or as little as you would like each week, having full flexibility over what goes into your farm share order. You only need to place an order on the weeks you want one, and your purchases will draw from a set number of “credits”, loaded on to your online store account at the beginning of the season. Credits left over at the end of the season don’t expire, and can be used to shop through our retail online store, open year-round.
Back this season we will be offering all Farm Share Members a 5% discount on all produce, compared to prices in our retail online store. This discount will be applied directly through the farm share member catalogue in our online store, and will appear on all produce prices. This is our way of saying THANK-YOU to all of our members for your continued support.

There will be no deposit required for these shares, and a monthly payment schedule (October, November) will be given. Please select “Subsidized Share” on the Sign-up form to access this option.
WHAT WE GROW
We grow a mixture of heirloom and hybrid varieties, striving for the best in flavour of: asparagus, arugula, basil, beans, beet, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celeriac, celery, cilantro, collards, cucumber, dill, eggplant, fennel, garlic, green onion, ground cherry, herbs, kale, kohlrabi, leek, lettuce, melon, onion, parsley, parsnip, peas, pepper, potatoes, radish, rutabaga, salad greens, spinach, squash, sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, tomatillo, tomato, turnip, watermelon, zucchini, as well as some unusual perennial berries like Sea buckthorn, Elder and Autumn Olive.
We focus on season extension with a minimally heated greenhouse and unheated hoophouses to lengthen the available season of each fresh vegetable, and provide storage crops from cold and dry storage on farm. Each week, we will offer every veggie item that we have available at that time, to allow you as much variety to choose from as we are able to produce.
Hear what our Farm Share (CSA) Members say about our program
★★★★★
This is the most convenient CSA program I have ever been part of – I have never previously had the option to choose what I want. I also really like placing the orders so that I can plan my meals. It also is easy for when I need to miss a week – I like that I just don’t place an order, rather than to arrange for someone else to pick up my box or to have to let someone know I won’t be there.
★★★★★
We’ve been members of a few different CSA programs over the years, and your farm has by far been our favourite! All of your vegetables and fruits are of such good quality and so delicious. The ability to order what we want each week is great, and the delivery option is very convenient. We love reading updates from the farm each week, too — it’s interesting to learn a little about your growing and harvesting processes. We really appreciate all of your hard work throughout the year — thank you!
★★★★★
I love everything about ordering from you. Great selection, great quality and I love the personal touch. Your order form is easy, payment is easy. By far the best vegetable service that I have ever used and I have used many. Thank you!
