Community Supported Agriculture was developed many years. It promotes
local production and provides a link between the farm and a community
of supporters.
Members pledge to support the farm by purchasing a share at the
beginning of the season. Share revenues are used to purchase seed
and maintain / upgrade or replace equipment necessary to the farm
operation.
The season typically runs between 16-20 weeks. Each shareholder
will received a weekly basket for the during of the program.
A typical basket might include:
How much does it all cost?
Each share is $750 if picked up at the farm or $950 delivered

Care Centre, behind the Canadian Tire on Heron Road at Bank.
