Read on for our season dates and subscription details.
Welcome to our CSA!
In 2024, we are making some significant changes to our program...primarily that our boxes will now be customizable! Our season is split into two share options:
The Glen Valley Greens box (subscribe weekly or bi-weekly) - runs for 6 weeks from May 9 to June 13. It's a 'greens' heavy produce box!
The Main Season box (subscribe weekly or bi-weekly) - runs for 24 weeks from June 19 to November 29. This box offers all the bounty of summer and fall harvest, and it's never been fresher!
We have offered a December set of boxes the last two years, and may well do again...but that will depend on availability of storage crops. Stay tuned!
In addition to customizable CSA boxes... you can also set as many delivery holds as you like. The value of the boxes from those holds is then available to spend throughout the season. Learn more in our FAQs section.
Extra Fruit Option
We also have Fruit Share options available to add to your veggie subscription:
Add a Fruit Share option (weekly or bi-weekly) to your Main Season subscription — includes seasonal cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, apples and pears from Snowy Mountain Organics in Cawston, BC. This option is not customizable.
Add a November Fruit Share extension (weekly or bi-weekly) to your Fall Fantastic subscription into November to take advantage of fall varieties of apples and pears. This option is not customizable.
Pricing
Each weekly box of vegetables is $49.35/week (or 49.35 credits).
Each weekly Fruit Share option is $36.75/week (available from July to end of October) and an optional extension at $23.10/week in November.
The prices for 2024 represent our ongoing commitment to being a Living Wage employer.
To avoid credit card fees, a 2.5% credit is applied to member accounts for payments made by Interac e-transfer or by personal cheque.
Payment plan options include:
1 payment (At Sign-up);
2 installments (One at Sign-up and June 1);
6 installments (One at Sign-up and monthly payments on June 1, July 1, August 1, September 1 and October 1);
An administrative fee ($1 plus GST/PST) is charged at sign-up for each of your delivery weeks. This administrative fee helps us to cover many of the administrative aspects of our CSA, including: our CSA management software (which allows members the flexibility to customize their CSA box, place delivery holds and change their pick-up location); managing inventory for a diverse online store; and hiring (at a fair, living wage) our administrator who adds value to the CSA experience through the creation of a weekly newsletter, recipe ideas, and who is able to monitor the email diligently to address member concerns promptly. We think that's pretty good value at $1/delivery!

On-Line Store
Our online store continues to evolve and will feature even more products in 2024. It is also what you will use to customize your weekly produce box.
Items with a 'credit' value are available for customization; you can swap them 'in' to replace an item you've removed from your box. These include herbs, veggies and select fruit and berries.
Items with a '$' value are available for purchase in addition to your weekly box and will include items like fruit, mushrooms, pasta, chocolate, grains and pulses, salad dressings, salmon products and more (store contents will continue to evolve)!
Positive balances in your account (assigned when you place a delivery hold) can be used to purchase items with either a 'credit' or '$' value associated with them.
You can supplement your box at any time with any item from the store. 1 credit = $1.
