What Makes Our CSA Different?
Customize Your Vegetables
Choose the vegetables your household will actually eat. Each week, you'll have 15–30 seasonal options to choose from – or let us select the farmer's best picks for you.
Harvested to Order
We don't harvest vegetables until you've placed your order. Your share is picked fresh from the field and packed specifically for you.
Pay As You Go
Enjoy the benefits of a CSA without the large upfront payment or season-long commitment. You’re only charged for the vegetables you receive, making it easier to fit fresh, local food into your budget and adjust as you go throughout the year.
Flexibility with Our CSA
Plans change, gardens overflow, and sometimes you just need a break from the veggies! You can cancel an order or place your subscription on hold whenever you need to — whether you’re heading off on an adventure, growing plenty in your own garden, or simply want to take a break from winter roots or summer abundance.

Our CSA is designed with flexibility in mind – you choose a share size, select a convenient pickup location and customize your vegetables each week before we harvest your order. It's a great way to eat seasonally, support local agriculture, and enjoy the freshest produce in Prince Edward County. We wouldn’t be here without our dedicated CSA members who (mostly) eat with us year round!

Absolutely. We know schedules change, so you can place your CSA membership on hold anytime if you're travelling, harvesting from your own garden, or simply need a break.
You can skip a single week or set vacation dates in advance, making it easy to enjoy a CSA that fits your lifestyle. Holds should be placed before orders are generated on Friday mornings. If you try to place a hold after your order has been created, there’s a handy “cancel any orders in this time period” button to help.

We grow fresh vegetables year-round, with pickup schedules changing to match the seasons.
Spring (April–June): Pickup every other week, mix of storage and greenhouse crops.
Summer (mid-June–October): Weekly CSA pickups during the peak growing season.
Winter (November–March): Monthly boxes filled with seasonal vegetables, from hearty storage crops to fresh favorites and greenhouse-grown treats.
Shifting frequency with the seasons allows us to harvest vegetables at their peak while providing members with fresh, local food throughout the year.
