What can I expect in my veggie box?
In the Traditional Veggie Box you will typically receive 5-8 different vegetables. Earlier season boxes are a bit smaller, while main season boxes are filled with seasonal goodies.
For the Fully Customizable Box you will be able to select your favorite veggies from 5-8 groupings. For example your salad option may be one of: arugula, salad mix, or spinach. Your root selection may be one of: beets, carrot, radish, or turnip. You can also expect a few bonus offerings along the way.
How long is the program?
The weekly program is 15 weeks.
The biweekly program is 8 weeks.
Is the Fully Customizable Box available biweekly?
Sorry no - only weekly. You can always pause/defer your boxes periodically if you are worried about excess veggies.
Where can I pick up my veggie box?
With the Traditional Veggie Box we are offering convenient pickup sites in Munster, Richmond, and Stittsville. The exact location will be identified in the coming weeks.
Where is home delivery available?
Home delivery is available anywhere in Richmond, and within the K0A 2Z0 postal code.
If you live near, but outside, these areas please send us your address and we will see what we can do. If you can sign-up some of your neighbors it will definitely help us extend our delivery range.
May I pause the program?
Absolutely. You can pause and defer your deliveries at any time.
With all the great farms in the area, what sets you apart?
In our Ottawa region we are blessed to be supported by many great farms and farmers. While we strive for the highest quality in all our produce, our differentiator is our greens. From micro-to-baby-to-mature, our greens are some of the highest quality you will find, anywhere. So if you like greens, this is the program for you!
Is This Program (CSA) Right for you?
Is This Program (CSA) Right for you?
Is knowing your farmer important to you?
In addition to supporting a local farmer, this program gives you the opportunity to get to know the hand that feeds you. You can ask questions about how your food is grown and how the land is treated. If you prefer your food faceless this program may not be right for you.
Can you taste the difference between fresh quality vegetables and the "other" ones?
Seriously. If you can't taste the difference between a fresh versus storage carrot, or soil born vine ripened tomato versus that tasteless hydroponic one that drove 2000KM to get to you, you will not perceive the value of this program.
Do you need complete control over your meal planning?
We strive to offer convenience through our customizable box, our delivery of clean produce and our weekly newsletter which provides advance notice of what's coming. However we recognize there is still flexibility required by the members to make use of all the vegetables each week. Some will enjoy this challenge, others may find it adds to their stress level.
Are you willing to take a risk?
We take risk mitigation very seriously, and we are devoted to providing you with a diversity of high quality fresh vegetables. However Mother Nature can never be completely controlled, and we are looking for partners to support us through thick and thin. There may be weeks when adverse conditions limit our supply, and on the contrary there may be bumper crops that will have you swimming in tomatoes. Supporting the farm is just as much about having the back of the farmer as it is about getting the full financial value of the share.
