Why not join our CSA garden. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) promotes the philosophy “Know your Food, Know your Farmer”. This model provides a direct relationship between you & the farmer that grows your food. As your CSA farmer we receive a set membership fee (from you - the consumer) prior to the start of the growing season. In return for 18 weeks, you receive weekly shares (produce) in the farm's bounty of fresh, high quality naturally grown vegetables and herbs.
We give you the opportunity to choose a fresher alternative by eating locally grown produce that is picked just for you. In addition, you are also helping to strengthen the local economy by keeping your food dollar in the community in which you live. Why not taste the difference for yourself and support your local community too.
Our season will run for 18 weeks starting the middle of June to the middle of October. We are adding some new shares this year; which include eggs, meat, & herbs. There will be two afternoon delivery routes, Monday (Wingham, Blyth, Clinton, Goderich) and Thursday (Lucknow, Ripley, Kincardine, Point Clark). Farm Pickup will also be available from 1-7pm on harvest days but will determined once membership is complete. Members will also receive our weekly newsletter which includes farm happenings, inspiring recipes, pictures & fun information!

Our gardens are grown by a term we like to refer to as “Ecoganic” farming. Ecoganic principles teaches us to be ecologically responsible for the stewardship of our land through the use organic farming practices. This way of farming is really the heart of sustainable agriculture and living for us. We do not use any commercial synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. By rotating crops, growing many different kinds of crops, and using timely appropriate practices, we try to minimize insect and disease damage. Not to mention a lot of hand hoeing and love!! We manage our soil and cultivate our crops in ways that we believe will allow the land to continue to be productive now and into the future .
