Garden Party offers the most flexible and diverse organic food box program (CSA) in the area!
You can read a blog written by one of our CSA members here.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a way of buyng fresh, local and (in this case) certified organic produce that benefits both the farmer and the consumer. You register in advance as a "shareholder" and each week you visit us on the farm and pick up your share of the harvest.
This program is a way of supporting small farmers who can't supply the kinds of quantities that supermarkets purchase. So its a way of keeping small local organic farms viable. At the same time, its a way that you can get local and organic produce that isn't available in area stores.
At Garden Party our CSA operates year round - so you can choose winter, spring, summer or fall food boxes (shares). Your share changes wit the season - so you are always getting the freshest local and organic produce possible. Plus, you get to choose your own produce - so no more vegetables you don't like rotting in the fridge! It is like visiting your own private farmers market. Everything is displayed in bulk, so you can pick up the exact size of cabbage or cucumbers or squash that works best for you.
All of our produce is organic - certified by Pro-Cert. We file an annual application with them and they inspect the farm annually to verify that we are fully in compliance with Canada's new national organic standard.
PLUS when you come to pick up your box, we will have lots of other organic and local staples (like: milk, eggs, cheeses, flours & grains, dried beans, prepared soups and baked goods, beef, chicken...) available for purchase. Its like having your own private organic farmers market!
Register for the season you want now - and once you are a shareholder in the program, you get first option to register for subsequent seasons.
Garden Party offers food boxes for all four seasons:
As the temperature drops and the days shorten we all crave comfort foods. Our fall food box is loaded with those hearty storage vegetables that remind us of home and grandma. Every week you choose from: potatoes, carrots, beets, carrots, peppers, garlic, onions, parsnip, squash, pumpkins etc. Plus we still have lots of greens available including: spinach, lettuce, kales, chards, bok choi etc. Plus winter box members get first option on limited organic turkeys and other specialties for the holiday season!
Pick up Thursdays from October 7 - December 23, 4:00 - 7:00
