What is a seasonal veggie Basket?

A weekly basket of seasonal vegetables harvested from our gardens. 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. This basket will keep you out of the veggie section of the grocery store for the season.

A quarter share of grass fed beef

This is about 100lbs of grass fed beef. You save on a bulk order as you pay one price per pound but get many more expensive cuts for the same price. Most people don't have room for 100lbs of beef, so we offer a service of holding the beef for you and delivering amounts each week that will fit in a regular freezer.

Fresh herbs

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!

Subscription will include 2-3 types of fresh herbs for amazing flavour in your recipes. 

+ Expect 16-17 weeks of deliveries.

Lettuce

If your family is big on salads, you may want to take a generous extra portion each week. An extra portion of flavourful, whole head lettuce, salad mixes, mesclun or arugula will be waiting for you to enjoy each week.

+ Expect 16-17 weeks of deliveries.

Spicy

Some like it hot, some don’t. 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, poblanos and Cayenne varieties

Storage

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 all 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

Greens

We have a sautéd green as a side dish with most of our meals. Collard greens, swiss chards, bok choi, asian greens; if you can’t get enough, or you would like to have more than 1-2 meals per week for most of the season choose this option.

+ Expect 16-17 weeks of deliveries.

Alliums

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!

+ Expect 13-14 weeks of deliveries.

Farm-Fresh Eggs

Our 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!
