We understand… you may be going on a vacation or work out of town. No problem. You’ve got options. HOLD-it! Each member has up to TWO holds per season. So if you’re going to be out of town, you can get an extra week (or two) added to the end of your subscription time frame.  **Please note that once the regular CSA season has ended your pick-up location may change. **We must be notified about your desired HOLD a minimum of 2 days before your regular pick up date.

OR you can arrange for someone else to come fetch your CSA box.  It is your responsibility to make sure they are “trained” so please make sure to tell them the time and location for the pick-up, and remind them to bring a bag!  It is wise to let us know in advance that someone else will be coming.  

Please notify us ASAP.  Please email Kat and arrange another time when you can get the box (for example, you could meet us at our Farmers’ Market booth or come out to the farm).  We must be notified if you would like us to save it for you.

If no one comes for the box within a few days, we will donate it to the food bank.

Did your mother ever make you eat all your veggies?!  Good. Part of the fun of a CSA is to learn to be more adventurous with eating, trying new items or learning new ways to prepare your less-favourite items.  We provide great recipe ideas each week, highlighting the less-well-known items.

Our Vernon VAC parking lot members have the opportunity to trade an item in our swap box.  Due to the logistics we won’t have the swap box available for the other locations.

No. We decide.  We grow a huge selection of produce and no two weeks will be the same.  Each week’s items are carefully chosen based on what is in season and when we last gave it to you. There may occasionally be repeated items from the previous week (gotta eat strawberries while the season lasts).  Have a look at some of our sample box photos to get an idea of what goes in the boxes. We aim to give you a salad option each week, as well as “snacky” lunch items to feed your family.

You will see some staple items appearing more often, such as carrots, tomatoes or potatoes, while the more unusual items will be less often.  Herbs and nuts are a fun addition to some week’s boxes, but not a major component. We welcome your feedback on what you’d love to see more of, and less of, too.

Great!  We offer Add-Ons.  Our weekly newsletter includes a section called “Add-Ons” where we list extra items we have for sale that week.  This is a great way to get more of your favourites while they last or to get extras for canning, dehydrating and freezing.   Order your add-ons by emailing us no later than 5 a.m. on the day you collect your box.
