CSA Program 2025 – Explore Local and Support Community

Are you passionate about incorporating more local food onto your plate while providing essential start-up capital to BC producers for their upcoming season? Explore the various CSA opportunities offered by our vendors and enjoy the partnership with local farmers. CSA programs are more than just a food distribution system. These help nurture local agriculture, offer job security to farmers, foster environmental stewardship, and ensure you receive a share of the freshest, healthiest local produce. By opting for a CSA membership, you’re not just limiting yourself to an array of fresh fruits and vegetables. These diverse membership options extend to eggs, meat, seafood, and even unique offerings such as honey, herbs, flowers, and grains.

Read some testimonials to know what these programs do and how these benefit:

“This is my 3rd CSA experience with 3 different farms and by far the best. Thank you to everyone involved, and I’m really looking forward to next season!”

“LOVED the weekly emails. So good. The recipes were so thoughtfully selected and often incorporated multiple veggies from the box. I made many of the recipes, and we sometimes did our other shopping around these recipes. Big kudos to whomever made those selections: you’re awesome.”

“Fabulous workers: helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and always positive. I always knew the safety protocols in place were keeping us safe.”
