CSA

Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) fosters the partnership between communities – those who want to eat good food – and farmers – those who grow good food.

CSA members purchase their share of the crop at the beginning of the season and receive 20 boxes of in-season produce (one box every week, delivered on Mondays, starting in June) in return.

Philosophy
Our CSA program offers a more intimate way of connecting with our customers and our community, while providing our customers with a means of connecting with and supporting a local farm. Our CSA also allows us to share the benefits and challenges of farming with our customers. By purchasing a share of our crop at the beginning of the season, CSA members increase our cash flow at a time when expenses are high and revenue is low. CSA members are then guaranteed a share of our crop, which may vary depending on the season.

Our Farm CSA is a good fit for folks who:

  • Care about the farm workers who harvest their food
  • Support co-operatively owned, certified organic, salmon-safe farmland and farmers in our region
  • Want to support sustainable local food systems and reduce food transportation miles
  • Are salad lovers – each box contains our freshly picked glorious salad mix
  • Want the option to add extra items, like eggs, herbs and more to their boxes
  • Are individuals, couples or small families who love to cook and eat fresh, nutritious, local food. Boxes and/or seasonal abundance is perfect for sharing!
  • Care about rising food prices and want to support small businesses, not corporations!
  • Want fresh-picked, local, seasonal variety but can’t always make it to the farmers market

Delivery/Pick-up
Boxes are delivered to neighbourhood drop-off locations before 3pm every Monday during the CSA season. CSA members are responsible for picking up their boxes from their selected location. Planned locations for 2022 are:

  • Vancouver: Commercial on 5th
  • Vancouver: Woodland at 15th
  • Vancouver: Kitsilano at 2nd and Maple
  • Vancouver: Sophia & 33rd
  • New – North Vancouver: Pemberton Ave @ W 22nd Ave (Pemberton Heights)
  • North Vancouver: St. Andrews at 26th Ave East (Upper Lonsdale)
  • New – West Vancouver: Fulton Ave @ 14th St (Lower Ambleside)
  • Aldergrove: On the farm at 1374 256th Street

New drop-off locations can be created with a minimum of 8 to 10 CSA members in the area.  If you would like to create a new drop off location, gather 4 members with one of them offering a suitable location and we will try to fill up the location by promoting in that area. Get in touch to discuss: csa@gloriousorganics.com

Box Contents
Every box is filled with fresh, seasonal produce from our fields, including our freshly picked glorious salad mix. We try to vary the produce each week, while maintaining our commitment to providing you with the fruit and vegetables you want. Our weekly email will provide tasty and easy recipe ideas for some of the less familiar items included. There are also options to add extra produce – like fresh farm eggs, fresh herbs, greens or canning tomatoes!
