Seasonal
Veggie Basket
This is a weekly basket of seasonal vegetables harvested from our gardens over 16 weeks, from mid-June to mid-October. This basket will contain 8-15 different vegetables in portions that would provide the ingredients for at least 4-5 meals per week for 2-3 people. Great for 2-3 people (or for veggie lovers!) This basket will keep you out of the veggie section of the grocery store for the season.
Customize your Basket with Add-on Options
Get more of the things you like with our add-on options! Each option is priced based on the number of weeks it is in season with one or two weeks free for subscribing members.
Fresh Herbs 5$/week Many of our members have home gardens and grow their own herbs, so we don't include them in our baskets. If you love to cook with fresh herb or would even like to store them, this option is for you!
Add 2-3 fresh herbs to you basket for amazing flavour in your recipes.
Expect 16 weeks of deliveries.
Kale lovers! 4$/week Our extra kale option is back! You may be a smoothie fan or become addicted to kale salads like we us. If you think maybe the kale you will receive in your baskets won't be enough...
Add a a generous extra bunch of kale to your weekly basket. Expect 15-16 weeks of deliveries
Storage 5$/week The best way to extend the season is to store veggies that keep. We plan to grow winter squash varieties, Spaghetti squash, butternut, acorn, delicata, pumpkins and hubbard squash that keep well for months in a cold room or any cool place you have in your home. If you want to still be eating veggies from the farm in December, choose this option.
Add extra storage veggies to your weekly basket. Expect 3 weeks of deliveries
Spicy 3$/week Some like it hot, some do not. We don’t include our spicy peppers in our regular baskets, because, frankly, some people can’t handle it. For those who like some heat, expect Habaneros, Jalapeños, pablanos and Cayenne varieties
Add a bunch of spicy peppers to your weekly basket. Expect about 5 weeks of deliveries
Our rustic chickens roam our pastures and gardens eating what they can find, doing what chickens do. We also supplement them with some grain. This makes for happy chickens and delicious eggs!

Add a a generous extra bunch of greens to your weekly basket. Expect 15-16 weeks of deliveries
Alliums 3$/week For the serious chef! We can’t think of too many recipes that don’t include garlic or onions of one sort or another. If you want to make sure you aren’t caught without some on hand take this option. We plan to grow, shallots, green onions, cippolinis, storage onions and garlic!
Add an extra bunch of alliums to your weekly basket. Expect 13-14 weeks of deliveries

At Ferme La Machine, we are offering healthy, ecological choices in terms of what we all eat and where it comes from. We believe that the ability to make this choice should be extended to everyone. The fact is, though, that higher quality food comes with a slightly higher price tag which puts it out of reach for some families. In order to help level the playing field, we have a "Buy a basket" donation option. If you feel the way we do, and can afford to share, we encourage you to donate any amount you wish. We will pool the funds and match them. We will then work with a local charity to connect with families in need so that they can eat great tasting, healthy food. Last year our community helped 5 families eat great food through donations. Any amount is appreciated, and completely voluntary.
