CSA HARVEST BOX
Community Supported Agriculture
CSA creates a season-long relationship between farmers and our community. By committing to our project before the growing season, we can be sure to provide you with an abundance of amazing local vegetables, berries and herbs all season long!
20 WEEKS OF FRESH PRODUCE
Small Harvest Box: 5-7 items
Large Harvest Box: 8-10 items
Both available weekly and bi-weekly.
Other options for harvest boxes and participation available, see below!
Your support allows us to buy seeds, compost and equipment, as well as invest in ecological initiatives that give back to the land that nourishes us.
Please read this page to learn how our CSA box program works. If you’re ready to join the program, click here to jump to our online store!
How It Works
Each week or bi-weekly, from June to October, you’ll pick up an intentionally selected variety box of vegetables, berries and herbs. All produce will be harvested within days of pick up. Boxes will change seasonally and you will receive different produce every week!
Pick up dates will be determined closer to the season’s start
Pick up location will be on or near the farm! (Off Carling, between Moodie and Kanata)
What if you can’t pick up?
Email to let us know by the end of day Monday and you will receive a credit to use at our farm stand. Weekly harvest box subscribers can receive up to 2 credits per season, and bi-weekly harvest box subscribers can receive 1 credit per season.
Gifting your harvest box to a friend is always an option - the more people eating local, organic vegetables, the better! If you don’t get to coordinating that, don’t worry, any extra boxes left behind will be donated to a local food bank.
Swapping Produce
We encourage everyone to try new foods or try new ways of cooking foods that may not usually like! We would love to talk about new ways to use our produce with you. However, we will always have a swap bin available to trade items within a $1 range.
If you have allergies to a lot of vegetables or have very picky eaters at home, we encourage you to sign up for our Connection Box program, where we can discuss what is best for you and you can pick your own vegetables!
Our Harvest Box Options
Weekly or Bi-weekly
You can choose to receive a box of fresh produce (vegetables, berries and herbs) every week - 20 boxes total! - or every other week - 10 boxes total!
Be sure to select the correct option when checking out!
Connection Box
Meet the farmers in the field to pick your own harvest box!
Either once or twice a month, this casual commitment allows you to connect to the land where your food comes from, learn or practice your harvest skills and meet your farmers. We would love to show you the space we care for!
Take Good Care
These are our subsidized harvest boxes. Everything about them is the same as our regular harvest boxes subscriptions - they are just supported by other members of the community to make them more accessible. Please sign up for this option if it’s right for you!
Work Share
Good Care Farm will always offer an opportunity to join us on the farm for a 3 hour shift each week to receive a small harvest box share. Please contact us for more information!
Payment Options
Pay in full
By choosing to pay in full, you help support Good Care Farm’s busy start of the season as we plan and prepare to grow delicious fresh food for you and our community! To pay in full for a weekly or bi-weekly harvest box of your desired size, please select that option below.
Split Your Payment
To make our harvest boxes more financially accessible, the split payment option is available below to split your payment in two for both small and large harvest boxes. Pay half now and half in three months!
This option is a subscription, and the second half of the payment will come out of your account automatically.
Save 3% with E-transfer Payments
E-transferring us at hello@goodcarefarm.ca is also an option. You may take 3% off the website total, since website payment fees aren’t involved. The amount for e-transfer is listed in each harvest box’s description so you don’t have to do the math!
We do encourage you to pay in full if you can. Split payment is also welcome (pay 50% now, 50% later), but please put it in your calendar to send the remaining 50% within a 3 month period.
In the notes of your e-transfer, please include the following information:
Your name
The type of harvest box you’re paying for
Your email - if you aren’t able to use the @ symbol in your e-transfer message, please use (at). Ex: hello(at)goodcarefarm.ca.
We use your email to send you an order confirmation, updates on pick up dates and locations, and send reminders to pick up your box! Please note that our CSA mailing list is separate from our newsletter mailing list, which you can sign up for here.
