Meet Your FarmersHi! We're Alyssa & David. Along with our son Felix & a hard-working crew, we are the friendly folks behind this small, family farm.
On our farm we don't just grow food - we help grow community. In the 10 years that we have been farming we've learnt how powerfully food connects us with each other - as you gather around a table enjoying a tasty meal in good company - or with the earth - as you eat with the ebb & flow of the seasons. Farms used to be at the heart of their local communities, for these reasons & more, and we aim to bring that back. We're on a mission to re-connect you with real food and the people & place behind it. Join us as we change the way you eat, for the better! |
What Is A Farm Share?
Our Farm Share program is a unique alternative to traditional CSA harvest boxes.
CSA stands for "Community Supported Agriculture" and it's a fantastic way for you to connect directly with your local farmers & build community.

Sign UpYou become a member of the farm by pre-purchasing a "share" of the farm's harvest, usually before the season begins.
Your upfront investment during the winter allows us to buy seeds, supplies & pay our crew to tend crops during the spring, when our farm has lots of expenses but no sales. |
ShopWe load your share amount onto a card as credit. Once the harvest season is underway, you use that card to shop for your choice of delicious, organic food in an easy, completely customizable experience.
This is different than a typical CSA harvest share where members receive a weekly box of pre-packed produce at a set location. |
ShareAs a member of the farm, you get to know the people behind your food and meet other locally-minded eaters who are invested in their farmer.
We provide plenty of opportunities for connection through newsletters, a private Facebook group and various farm events. |
How Does It Work?
When you invest in a Farm Share you become a member of the farm for an entire season.
Since our farm is all about choice you get the flexibility to:
Since our farm is all about choice you get the flexibility to:
Choose exactly what you wantWe grow an incredible variety of high-quality produce on our farm in Pemberton and offer 50+ types of certified organic vegetables for you to choose from.
Plus we partner with other local farms to offer dried beans, eggs & fruit through our online store. You get to pick the produce you want to eat, in the quantities you need. |
Choose where you shopYou can use one, or more, of the following options, depending on what's convenient for you:
|
Choose how to connect with your farm communityWe keep you up to date on what’s happening at the farm with monthly newsletters that include behind-the-scenes photos.
You gain access to our private Facebook group community where you can connect with your farmers & other Farm Share members to share seasonal recipes or veggie tips & tricks. And you get an exclusive invite to a special farm tour just for Farm Share members. Plus, if you’d really like to get your hands dirty, we offer opportunities for you to volunteer on the farm once a month. |
Choose how often you shopWe start harvesting fresh vegetables in mid-May and don't stop until December. That means you get access to fabulous, flavourful, local veggies for over half the year - up to 31 weeks.
If you're going away for a week or even a month it's no problem. You can shop as much, or as little, as you like, based on your changing schedule. Unlike a weekly CSA veggie box subscription, there's no need to reschedule or miss out. And if you don't end up using all the credit on your card it simply gets rolled over for you to use next year. |

You get to decide how much you'd like to commit to the farm this year.
Shares can be purchased in any amount, with a minimum of $250 all the way to a maximum of $1900.
The lower end of that range makes sense if you're a household of one, know that you're going to be away frequently or are just getting into the rhythm of eating seasonally.
The higher end of that range might work better if you're a plant-based eater, cook most of your own meals from scratch or have a large family.
Any unused credit from 2022 simply rolls over into 2023.
Please note that payment is due within 7 days of sign up.
You won't qualify for sign up bonuses if we don't receive your payment within 7 days.
