About Everdale’s Harvest Share Program:
Everdale’s Harvest Share program is based on the Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) model that is becoming popular all around the world. Here’s how CSA farms generally work: the CSA farm receives a set fee from you prior to the start of the growing season. In return, you receive produce from the farm every week during the harvest season. In southern Ontario, the harvest season is about 20 weeks long (June-October).
Everdale’s version of the CSA model is called the “Harvest Share Program”. Our Harvest Shareholders receive fresh fruits and vegetables grown on our certified organic farm and on other local farms.
Pickup Dates, Times, and Locations:
Our Summer Harvest Share program begins in mid-June and runs until the end of October.
We have two membership options, depending on which pickup location is closest to you:
- in the Annex neighbourhood in Toronto (187 Brunswick Ave.)
Tuesday 3:30-7 pm
- at the farm in Hillsburgh, Erin township
Thursday 3-8 pm or Saturday 8:30-11:30 am
Member Benefits:
- 20 weeks of fresh, local, organic food
- 20-30 seasonal fruits and vegetables to choose from each week
- 4 share sizes to suit your needs
- take-what-you-need fresh herbs
- farm events and activities
- cut flowers and u-pick peas and beans (farm pickup location only)
- a choice of how many weeks you would like to pick up your share!
We believe that our Harvest Share program can deepen your connection with your food, your farmers, and the land. As a Harvest Shareholder Everdale becomes “your farm”.
Working Share Option:
We also offer the option of a Working Share, which means that you can get your Harvest Share in exchange for working on the farm or at one of our pickup locations. For more information about the Working Share, Click Here
