Organic Vegetables CSA Share

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.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR SHARE

One of the most exciting things about growing our own food is that we can choose from thousands of varieties of vegetables most of which will never be found in a grocery store. At Knuckle Down Farm we grow everything from organic seed and be they rare and unusual, heirlooms or familiar favourites we are always looking for varieties with the best flavour.

Each week we try to provide a good balance between old standards and something new and interesting. The shares change with the season, however we do our best to make sure each week has something for everyone.
