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.
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 commitments for Root Radical CSA members are:
- You pay up front for your vegetables before the season begins.
- 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 and/or by attending meetings.
In exchange our commitments to our members are:
- We provide high quality organic vegetables, delivered
to a convenient urban location.
- We provide through our regular newsletter, updates and photos from
the farm and tips and recipes for storing and using the vegetables.
- We provide opportunities for our members to become 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.”
