SurveY
We need your input! We’re gearing up for a big transformation of our store and cafe (more below), and we want to build it with you. We want to know what you want from our little farm store, how we can make your experience better.
Let us know by taking this surve:
GREENS ARE BACK
This winter, we stepped away from our traditional Winter CSA for a number of reasons but it gave us a chance to focus on the barn renovation. In doing so, we truly hoped the community would still find their way to the farm for their weekly staples.
We’ve missed your faces in the shop! If you’ve missed your "farm fix," we’d love to see you soon—it’s your support right now that fuels our ability to grow into this next chapter.
Fresh in the Shop:
Greenhouse Greens including SPINACH, Lettuce, Arugula and Kale: Our soil is very healthy and alive, which means super yummy, nutrient dense greens that stay fresh in your fridge for a long time!
Boulangerie Marcel: Gorgeous sourdough loaves baked fresh every day we're open.
Hyper-Local & Organic: Local meat from Hale Farm, plus our own parsnips, celeriac, potatoes, onions, and garlic.
Did you know that 60% of Canadian vegetables comes from the United states? With rising gas prices and the uncertainty of Us-Canadian relations, we really appreciate you investing in your local farms and food security!
We know it takes an extra effort to make the trip out to our little shop, and we truly appreciate every visit.
Nos Nouveaux Horaires / New Hours:
Jeudi / Thursday: 10:00 – 17:15
Vendredi / Friday: 10:00 – 17:15
Samedi / Saturday: 09:00 – 14:15
When you visit, don't mind the mess ! This is what we're building :
YEAR ROUND FARM-to-Community connection
It's difficult to deliver veggies to the city in the winter and it's not that fun to come to the farm either. So we're investing in this barn so we can still sell veggies and delicious meals all year round. You'll be able to go for a cross country ski and pop in for soup and sandwinch and stock up on y our local veg.
It's very exciting but a little scary!
We have a solid business plan and have some wonderful people helping us make this dream a reality. Even so, it's daunting to look out your window everyday and see the muddy before mess. But every year we plant seeds into bare dirt and trust the process, so we're doing the same with this project!
We also hope to host workshops and events.
All in all, it's exciting to see something we've dreamt of for years come to fruition!
Community Shared Agriculture (CSA)
We still have spots in our CSA program!
Our CSA starts on June 24th this year.
Tomatoes are already a foot tall and we start greenhouse cucumbers next week.
NOTE: We are still working on the final dropoff points.. most will stay the same but some may change.. they will still be in the same neighbourhoods and within a couple blocs of what is listed now***
If you want to be a host ( you can get a sizeable discount on a share!) let us know!!
