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 vegetables are grown, and with the farmer who grows them. They also give you fresh, delicious, organic 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 find her at Dufferin Grove and the Homegrown Hamper.

The Farm

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. 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 produce 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.

Shares are harvested weekly for twenty weeks starting in mid-June. We do not pre-pack the shares, but rather allow members to choose their own share based on a list provided at each pick-up. This way members can choose between big vegetables, little ones, ugly ones, perfect ones, green, red or yellow ones. Members bring their own bags, baskets or containers to take the bounty home. Each week the contents of the share change based on what is in season. You can choose between two different share sizes.

2022 CSA Signup is Closed

But you can still buy shares for the rest of the year
