A weekly Food Box program that supports a local farmer
Eat more vegetables & make great meals
Meet your farmer
Hi everyone. I want to start by saying THANK YOU for supporting local agriculture. You’re not just buying vegetables. You’re investing in a farm, a family and in a community…and you’re getting to know where your food comes from.
I can’t wait to grow food for you.
-Farmer Josh
What comes with a Food Box membership?
18 weeks of seasonal vegetables and strawberries from our farm
Herbs galore! Harvest from our pick-your-own herb garden each week
Access to the private facebook group with video training, live unboxing and recipes
Face to face time with the farmers who grow your food
Access to local meats, flowers, bread, honey, flour and more!
Flavour that you won’t find at the grocery store, harvested at its VERY freshest
Access to bulk fruit and vegetable orders, at member prices
What kind of food will I get?
Vegetables: Over the course of the season you will receive you over 30 kinds of vegetables. This will include lots of the staples: tomatoes, onions, carrots, salad greens and potatoes; some veggies that are less common: kohlrabi, chard, kale; and many vegetables in between. We do not grow cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels sprouts, or parsnips.
Strawberries: There is a rather large strawberry field on the farm so expect to see those in your box during June and July.
But what if I don’t like something?
Meet the Swap Box. As you fill your box, you can swap your veggies or bread with those in the Swap Box to bring home more of the food you love and less of the food you don’t.
Is this right for me?

Where & when do I pick up my box?
Beginning in mid-June and for 18 weeks, you will pick up your Food Box on on the farm:
3711 Hwy 38 on Tuesdays from 3:00pm to 9:00pm.
From 3:00pm to 6:00pm A market-style pick up lets you choose/swap your vegetables and say hello to Farmer Josh
From 6:00pm to 9:00pm Grab & go - boxes are pre-packed and ready to take home. The swap box is not available after 6pm
Do I have to pay all at once? (Answer: nope)
The balance is due in two instalments in January and May. However, you are welcome to pay in full at any time.
You can pay by: e-transfer, credit card, cash, cheque or debit (in person)
For those paying with a cheque, post-dated cheques can be dropped off at the farm.
These deposits are used to cover expenses in the winter months, so prompt payment is appreciated!
“I love that my two year old pulls the veggies out of the bag and we talk about each one. When she reaches for the strawberries, she always pops a few in her mouth (greens and all haha)”
Join the community & we’ll help you change the way you eat
For some, a Food Box can be daunting – each week you take home a box of food and have to figure out what to do with it.

*A weekly newsletter with stories from the farm and recipe ideas
*An invite to our Facebook community. Meet other members, get meal ideas, recipes and cooking inspiration
