This is an innovative way for you to receive a luscious weekly box of certified organic seasonal produce, and become closer to the farmers who grow the food. While you’re collecting your produce, you can ask questions about how it was grown or how to prepare it.
Through the growing season we send our members a weekly e-mail with a list of produce they’ll be receiving, plus recipes and farm news. We truly appreciate having subscribers sign up at the start of each program, as the farmers need to know numbers for crop planning.
We’ve had some new farmers come on board, so for this year we’re just offering one 17-week food box, running from June 20 through October 10. It will cost $25/week, a total of $425.
Payment methods this year are cash, cheque (one cheque for the full amount, OR two cheques: one current-dated for 50% and one post-dated for the balance) or e-transfer (please email our farm address and use organic as the password)
