How it works

All of our farm products are sold through the CSA model, which means the people who eat our food become members by buying a share in advance for fresh organic vegetables and/or eggs from our farm.

When committing to our farm, our members acknowledge that due to weather conditions and other factors beyond the control of the farm crew, there is a degree of risk involved in the CSA model. They agree to share in both the season’s abundance and its risk.

Keep in mind that despite the risks, with conscientious management we have a five year track record of being able to deliver to our members good value and excellent quality in local organic vegetables.

Member participation

We believe that the future of healthy, ecologically sane and affordable food production depends on eaters changing the way they look at agriculture and getting involved in growing their food.

The three basic member commitments for Root Radical CSA are:

• You pay in advance for your vegetables.
• You pick up your share every week during the allotted time and make arrangements for weeks when you are away.
• You help the CSA improve by providing feedback.

In exchange our commitments to our members are:

• We provide high quality organic vegetables, delivered to a convenient urban location.
• We provide, on our website and in our regular newsletters, tips and recipes for storing and using the vegetables.
• We provide opportunities for member to become more involved in the farm through on farm events.
• We work to understand member feedback and respond to make improvements where necessary.

What our members are saying

“From a family perspective, the best part of the CSA is
raising our children to understand the importance of
locally grown nutritious food and how hard farmers
work to provide families with this food.”

“I cannot say enough about how your vegetables have CHANGED MY LIFE. I feel healthier than ever before, love my food more than ever before, am excited by all the new FLAVOURS to SAVOUR. I'm an absolute convert and can't wait to start again next season.”

“We're eating so much better, ensuring all the veggies get used up every week. Everything has been so tasty, so fresh, and so much better than from the supermarket. We've also discovered some new things we hadn't eaten before (who knew kohlrabi was so yummy ... even my almost 3 year old loves it raw!).”

“We enjoyed some of the greens for supper tonight and have plans for other delicious veggies from the box for every night this week! Thanks for keeping us happy and healthy!”
