Organic Vegetables

Knuckle Down Farm is a small-scale organic market garden sitting on a quiet back-channel of the Trent River. We grow over fifty varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers with care and mostly hand tools.

CSA VEGETABLE SHARES

Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares give you a direct connection to the local farm where your organic vegetables are grown, and with the farmer who grows them. They also give you fresh, delicious, produce all summer. Weekly veggie shares can be picked-up from the farm near Stirling, Frankford, & Campbellford.

MARKETS

Every Friday, Jenny brings vegetables she plucked from the soil only hours earlier to Stirling’s Market in the Village. Stop by her booth and say hello! You can also sometimes find her at Dufferin Grove and the Picton Farmers’ Market.

The Farm

Knuckle Down Farm is a small-scale organic vegetable farm sitting on a quiet back-channel of the Trent River. We grow over fifty varieties of vegetables, herbs, and flowers with care and mostly hand tools. Established in 2012, Knuckle Down started on land borrowed at reroot organic farm. In 2014 we moved to our very own farm near Frankford, Campbellford, and Stirling Ontario.

The Farmer

Jenny took a somewhat circuitous route to farming. Helping out at a friend’s farm on a cold, rainy day, she realized that despite being exhausted, shivering, and covered in mud she was happier than when at a desk. Her academic background in Environmental Studies (B.E.S.) and Environmental Design (M.E.Des.) made the decision to farm organically an obvious one and she has been doing so full-time since 2010.

CSA VEGGIE SHARES

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares give you a direct connection to the local farm where your vegetables are grown and with the farmer who grows them. They also give you fresh, delicious, organic vegetables all summer.

By buying shares of the future harvest while the ground is still frozen, you allow us to purchase the seeds and equipment needed in the spring. Once the season begins, usually by mid-June, we harvest fresh vegetables for you to enjoy each week.

Shareholders thus agree to share the risks as well as the bounty of the harvest, allowing farmers to focus on growing.
