JOIN OUR CSA!

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is a great way to ensure your food security and support your local food producer at the same time! Farm members pay in advance for a weekly box of incredibly fresh and nutritious vegetables, and share in the risks and rewards of the growing season. This helps your farmers with all the early season costs like seeds and soil amendments, and makes local, seasonal eating effortless for you. You will get a nice mix of familiar staples like carrots, salad mix, cucumbers, tomatoes and potatoes, plus some veggies that may be new to you. Our weekly newsletters will give you recipes and inspiration for making lots of delicious meals!

Summer CSA

Our Summer CSA currently serves Nelson and the Slocan Valley with two weekly pickup options on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The CSA runs from about mid-May to October, depending on the weather, for 20 weeks. We also offer the option to keep going later into fall depending on our produce availability.

We have two box sizes for the Summer CSA. The small is about $30 weekly value, good for a couple, or the large is about $45 weekly value, great for a small family or two big veggie eaters. 

The small share is $700. The large share is $1000
Payment in full is most appreciated at sign-up or by April 1, or you can opt to pay in 2 instalments (April 1 and June 1). We strive to be inclusive, so please get in touch if you would like to make a more flexible payment plan.

Nelson members can choose to pick up on Wednesdays at 5pm OR Saturdays at 10am from the Visitors Centre parking lot. Alternatively, we now offer delivery to Nelson on Wednesdays for $150 for the season.

Slocan Valley members can choose to pick up from the farm Wednesday afternoons OR Saturday mornings.
