It's not realistic for most of us to fully remove ourselves from the broken food system we exist within, but we can shift some of our spending to places that more closely align with our values.

When you shift some of your spending away from the grocery giants and towards local producers you get a whole lot more than what big grocery is offering.

The products you get in our CSA are grown right here, in Edmonton, on our family farm. Planted by hand, weeded by hand, irrigated by the North Saskatchewan River, harvested by hand, packaged by hand, and sold in person by our team.

Our veggie's transportation footprint is minimal so you're only ever eating them a maximum of 40km from where they're grown (within city limits).

The money you use to purchase them stays largely within our community.

You're also getting to reconnect with seasonal cycles and eat crops at their most nutritious and flavourful.

And as grocery prices have inflated, there is no longer a financial gap between local produce and big grocery.

It's time to ask yourself what do you really get out of buying your summer veggies at a big grocery chain?

This time of year is always a bit of a balancing act. Is the weather too cold for the transplants to go in the ground or will they be scorched by a heat wave? Will it rain or should we irrigate?

May is all about attentiveness and flexibility to meet the needs of the crops in their most vulnerable stage.

Did you know we plant successively? That means we plant a new round of plants every few weeks through the planting season. So, for example, instead of one set of cauliflower that ripens all at once, we have different plantings of cauliflower that come into maturity every few weeks. This allows us to extend our cauliflower season.

Regardless of where you're getting your food these days, groceries are expensive. Since 2023 we've done comparisons between our CSA pricing and what those bounties would cost if you bought the exact same things at big grocery chains. This year we compared them to Superstore, Walmart and Save On. And no surprise, locally grown veggies are no longer more expensive.

The bigger question - which should always be part of the conversation - is what is your grocery money doing for you? For your community? For the food industry at large? How and where we buy our food is intrinsically enmeshed with ethical questions.

More and more we're seeing grocery giants in Canada getting called out for price gouging, shrinkflation, price fixing, creating legal restrictions that reduce possibilities for competition, and ballooning profits for executives.

It's not realistic for most of us to fully remove ourselves from this broken food system, but we can shift some of our spending to places that more closely align with our values.

If there is no longer a financial gap between local produce and big grocery, it's time to ask yourself: what do you get when you buy your summer veggies at a big grocery chain?
