How do your subscriptions work?

Step 1

You order

Pre-paying allows us to buy our seeds. It also helps us to reduce food waste, as we plant for the number of confirmed clients. We recommend the Farmer's Friend size to all new customers.

Step 2

We plant

We grow veggies that do well in our climate and share regular farm updates and recipes. Together we share in the risks and rewards inherent with growing vegetables in this region.

Step 3

We harvest - You cook

Pickup your veggies twice monthly July-October and taste the flavour of eating with the seasons. You can join us at the farm for our annual fall harvest event.

 

I'm interested - tell me more

We grow over 25 unique and heirloom vegetables or herbs that are suited for our climate and soil so you can experience the best of local seasonal eating. We partner with other local farms, like our friends at Hive and Harvest, so you can buy other products that will help make your veggies into a meal.

 

In 2024, we are offering 8 deliveries in two sizes (Farmer's Friend and Veggie Lover). We recommend all new clients to start with a Farmer's Friend share. Each delivery contains 5 vegetables or herbs at peak freshness. Additional items are available to swap out or add to your bags most weeks as complimentary extras. Following are some examples of what veggies to expect in a typical month.
