CSA 2024
*Sign up link coming soon*
Every week, pick up a share of seasonal, freshly harvested produce grown on our farm!
*There is a lot going on off-farm this spring, so the 2024 season will start and end late, running for 20 weeks, from early August to early December.*
My aim is to provide you access to high quality food grown with flavour and freshness in mind. Each share consists of familiar staple vegetables as well as new and interesting varieties that you might not find in most supermarkets.
Your shares will reflect the seasonality of food grown in Southern Ontario, from cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes in the heat of the summer, to hearty root vegetables, frost-sweetened greens from the polytunnel, and winter squash in the fall.
Your shares will be large – enough for a household of four that enjoys their vegetables. That being said, I have also had couples and individuals in the past that have enthusiastically polished off their weekly shares! If the quantity or the price worries you, I recommend splitting a share with family or friends.
Also available: SMALL shares! These are smaller shares that are great for one person or a couple looking to supplement their diet with seasonal vegetables.

Subsidized share option
If cost is a concern for you, consider signing up for a discounted CSA (20% off).
If you would like to contribute by adding more subsidized spots, consider signing up for an “inflated” CSA (+20%). I will only use your contribution if there is a need for subsidized CSAs, otherwise, the 20% will be refunded to you.
Storage onions and potatoes
Red onion variety: Red Wing
Yellow onion variety: Patterson
Potato variety: Red
These varieties are specifically bred for long storage life and exceptional flavour!
In general, storage vegetables don’t seem to generate as much hype as a quart of tomatoes or a bag of salad mix…but what other vegetable faithfully sits in storage, virtually unchanged, saving up summer flavours for you to enjoy, all through the winter? I think I might love storage crops more than I love fresh summer greens (and if you know me at all, you know I’m a fresh greens monster).
Pricing
ONIONS (red or yellow)
$12 for 5 lb
$2 / lb for 10+ lb
*red/yellow mixed bags possible
POTATOES (red)
$2.50 / lb (min. order 5 lb)
*potatoes are unwashed – the residual dirt helps them retain moisture and prevents the skin from being scratched up
Pick up locations
TORONTO
Downtown residence, 5 min walk from Grange Park
Deliveries to Toronto will be once a month. Once downtown, the veg will be stored in an enclosed porch that you can access anytime (though I recommend picking the veg up within a week to reduce spoilage).
QUINTE WEST
Farm gate, 15 min drive northwest of Frankford
Pick up days are flexible and can be worked out after order submission.
*exact addresses given upon order submission
