Hello veggie community!

Our 2024 farming season has now come to a completion and we have put our veggie beds to sleep for the Winter.

For many of you this year our Seasonal veggie boxes have been incredibly well received and we now invite you to consider registering for our 2025 All Access Veggie Box program.

Support a local farm and invest in regenerative farming practices

2024 was our 6th season of farming was filled with numerous lessons, wins, and challenges, cultivating vegetables for our members and other veggie lovers in the community.

We really pushed ourselves this season, growing from 105 to 120 members, and with your support, it's made the experience incredibly rewarding. We are proud to say that we now have 33 members pre-registered for 2025!

Next season we have an invigorated sense of appreciation to cultivating vegetables for our local supporters, investing in organic amendments to fortify healthy soil for our crops that will be passed on to veggie lovers in the community who support our endeavours.

Pre-registration is now available for 2025! Why register and pay now?

As a small market garden farm, our revenue capabilities drop to roughly to 1/8th of what we're capable of generating during our peak seasons in Summer and Fall.

When you pre-register now, you're literally investing in our farm as if it was shares in a stock. This gives us the ability to fortify our farm with amendments for Winter, purchase new tools and equipment that will make us better farmers, and allows us to purchase new seeds and supplies for the upcoming season.

Besides...what better investment can you make in your own health and the health of your families by supporting a local farmer? Your investment not only supports our business, but it also fortifies the local ecosystem in creating a greener economy!
