Summer 2022 Sign Up are coming really soon!

We are hoping by the 1st or 2nd week or February we will be able to open up sign ups for you to snag your spot.
We will send out an email to current members & members from last summer first, then a couple weeks later we will open it to the public.

Do you like swapping items out of your shares for some customizing fun?

This is great! We love that you're enjoying being able to makes changes, if you'd, like to your shares.
We want to remind you;
- Make sure if you delete an item that you add another in. Other wise your share may be under value depending on the prices of the cuts.
  - *Sometimes to add another item in you need to double an item you already have. Then you can 'swap' out 1 of the 2 for a different item.
- There is a cart Window the slide out from the right hand side that shows what you have in your share, if you owe extra, or if your share in undervalue.
- When swapping, you may trade a lesser value item for a higher priced item. You will in-cure a "swap charge" and will have to pay the difference.

Got any of our red freezer bags kicking around the house ?

Please Salt Your Driveways!

We've locked in supply lines for our 2022 Summer Growing Season

With the uncertainty of many items these days, we wanted to be on top of things.
We have our seed orders booked- most remained the same price, some increases but not terrible.
We have invested in good equipment & strengthened our numbers for our livestock so we are looking at a good start (knock on wood) for the summer.

Turkeys available in the extras.

We have some turkeys left from Christmas. These will be available in the extras.
They are frozen & will be good for easter.

New Aquaponics Lettuce Supplier

We have teamed up with OSA Farms in Markham to bring you lettuce this winter!
It is grown in a aquaponic system, which uses fish -rainbow trout- to create a regenerative cycle!
How cool?! If you'd like to learn more about them, check out their website at https://ontariosustainableagriculture.ca/
we've started to negotiate with them sell the trout too. Details to come

Farm Store in Zephyr open every other Saturday. (See calendar on website)

Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies.

If you have signed up for a home delivery route, we highly suggest getting a cooler for us to leave your produce in while it waits for you to get home because it gets very cold in the winter.
