More Information

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It’s a way for people to buy a share of a farm’s harvest in advance and receive a selection of fresh, seasonal produce throughout the growing season.

When you purchase a CSA share from Our Farm, you’re signing up for regular pick‑ups of locally grown vegetables and investing directly in supporting the farmers and community members who grow your food. In return, you receive a rotating variety of produce that reflects what’s fresh and in season, straight from the field to your table.

A CSA creates a connection between you and your farm, supports sustainable local food systems, and helps ensure good food is accessible in our community.

Buying a CSA share means you’re doing more than just purchasing vegetables—you’re investing in local food, community, and sustainability.

When you sign up for a CSA, you:

  • Enjoy the freshest produce possible, harvested at peak ripeness and packed the same week
  • Eat seasonally, discovering new vegetable varieties as they come into season
  • Support local, inclusive farming, helping Our Farm grow food, skills, and community connection
  • Strengthen the local food system by providing farmers with reliable, upfront support

A CSA share connects you directly to where your food comes from and the people who grow it bringing fresh, local vegetables from Our Farm straight to your table, all season long. 🥕🌱 🤝 💚

A CSA is perfect for anyone who wants to eat locally and enjoys trying new varieties of vegetables as they become available throughout the growing season.

This share is well suited for a veggie‑loving single person, couple, or a small family that eats a moderate amount of vegetables. If you enjoy seasonal cooking, fresh ingredients, and supporting local agriculture, a our CSA share is a great fit.

How much is a share? We offer two CSA options to fit different household needs:

  • Full Share – $540
    Includes 17 weeks of vegetables with weekly pick‑ups throughout the summer and fall. Each week’s box may vary in value depending on the harvest and what’s in season.

  • Half Share – $286
    Includes 9 bi‑weekly pick‑ups (every other week) over the season. You’ll receive the same type of produce as the Full Share, just on a lighter schedule—ideal for single people or small households.

Both options provide a weekly (or bi‑weekly) selection of 6–8 fresh, locally grown vegetables, picked straight from Our Farm. Prices reflect seasonal availability, so some weeks may have a higher value and others slightly lower depending on the harvest.

When does the CSA Start? The first pick up for the season will be June 23rd, 2026

Where Do I pick Up the CSA? CSA pick up day will be on Tuesdays from 4:00-6:00pm at 115 University Avenue East, Waterloo, ON

Each CSA share includes a selection of 6–8 different types of seasonal vegetables, picked fresh from Our Farm at the peak of the harvest.

You’ll also receive a CSA newsletter with helpful updates from the Our Farm:

  • Full Share members receive a weekly email
  • Half Share members receive a bi‑weekly email, timed with your pick‑up weeks

Each newsletter arrives on Monday morning and includes:

  • A preview of what will be in your veggie box
  • News and updates from the farm fields
  • Recipe ideas to help you enjoy your produce

When you arrive for pick‑up, bring your own bag or box to take your vegetables home. All items are set up on tables with clear instructions for what to take for your share, and a team member will be available to help if you have any questions.

We also offer a Swap Box, where you can trade one item each pick‑up for something else. Not a fan of fennel? You’ll be able to swap it for a different vegetable offered that week!

Because you’ll be eating seasonally, the variety of vegetables will change throughout the summer and fall as the weather, temperature, and sunlight shift, keeping your share fresh, local, and always evolving.

Some of the crops to expect during each season:

Spring – Arugula, lettuce, radishes, bok choy, kale, garlic scapes, green onions, herbs

Early Summer – Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi, peas, zucchini, beets, carrots, beans

Late Summer – Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, string beans, raspberries, potatoes, onions

Fall – Winter squash, brussels sprouts, turnips, spinach, parsnips, carrots, leeks, rutabaga

🥕🌱 🤝 💚

If you’re unable to pick up your CSA share, we offer a couple of flexible options:

  • Share it with a friend
    You’re welcome to send a friend, family member, or neighbour to pick up your share anytime you’re unavailable.

  • Donate your share
    If you’re unable to arrange a pick‑up, email [email protected] and we can help ensure your share is donated to a local non‑profit.

Please note that we are not able to offer holds, refunds, or returns on CSA shares during the season.

“Jenny, Laura & the rest of the team at Our Farm did an amazing job at providing weekly veggies for the 2024 season. Everything was fresh and tasty. I found the program great as a supplement to my regular groceries and enjoyed knowing my produce was organically grown and local. Will see you next year.”
