Items that you have placed in your shopping cart will be ordered on your behalf on Tuesday, May 21st at 8:00pm.
There is no checkout button. If you do not intend to order, please ensure that your shopping cart is empty.
Upcoming dates:
Friday May 24th, Friday June 7th, Friday June 21st, Friday July 5th! We may add in another Friday in June if the strawberries are ready!
A message from Rachael:
I wanted to catch you before the long weekend.
Next Friday seems so long away, but ordering ends Tuesday at 8pm so that we can call and email farmer's and suppliers in time for them to pick vegetables and prepare your orders. This would be a great time to take a minute and order some asparagus, herbs, seedlings, rhubarb and whatever else you need for two more weeks!
Highlights on our order form:
- Theresa from Garden Party is back! In addition to being one of this area's awesome CSAs she is offering some items for you. Look for her herbs, preserves and cut flowers - all organic! She also has a 'make your own stock' kit. Just add heat and water!
- Oak Manor Flour - Stock up as after this pickup we'll be offering these amazing organic grains less often (May 24th, June 21st, July 12th, Aug 9th) - yes the dates changed if you've already marked them in your calendar
- Country Flavour Preserves - We're restocking so you can order anything you want including cases of your favourites. Please let us know if you want something that we haven't listed as a case!
- New Moon Baking has new granola bars. Maryrose says they're good, and I trust her judgement on these things.
- Winnie's Gluten-Free Foods is back - offering some of their frozen specialties for us this summer including GF Tourtière. Look for stuffed ravioli and new varieties of perogies in the 'prepared' section too!
- We have a few select cuts from Vibrant Farms and some Stewing Beef available too until we restock (We've ordered a half steer so that we'll have more soon). If you have special requests for cuts, please let us know! We'll be sure to have some lovely thick cut steaks and more.
- Spud's Finest potato chips are one of my weaknesses. The bags seemed a bit bigger last week (more for sharing) I'll have to restock, how about you?
