Fertile Ground Farm
Community Shared Agriculture
2021 Registration opens mid-February
What is CSA?
We sell our vegetables direct to households through our CSA.
Community Shared Agriculture connects farmers directly with eaters. Members pre-purchase a share in the harvest & are treated to an assortment of the fresh, locally-grown vegetables in season each week. We grow most of our vegetables and eggs here at our farm, and source the rest from local farm partners..
Our vegetables are fresh & delicious.
You'll taste the difference.
Our Main Season CSA runs 19 weeks from June-October.
We curate ~75% of your weekly share contents, but our market-style setup and Choice Table help you customize what you take home.*
Eat delicious favourites and broaden your vegetable horizons.
*During COVID, our staff pack shares with your direction.
Add an Egg Share from our pastured hens and purchase additional foods like meat, fruit, honey, herbal remedies and mushrooms seasonally through
