Description

2020 Summer Harvest CSA

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an innovative way to connect the consumer and grower, each making a commitment to the other. CSA members make a commitment to the farm at the beginning of the season by paying in advance for a portion of the farm’s products throughout the season. This guarantees the farm a market for its products, provides members weekly boxes of fresh food, and fosters responsible relationships between farmer, consumer, and the community where the food is grown.  

 

Each week starting June 2nd, we will provide a box of hyper-local fruits and vegetables harvested from our urban farm in Vancouver’s Olympic Village.  

While the contents of each box will vary weekly as the season progresses, here is just a sample of what a box may contain this year: 

 

June:  fennel, radishes, turnips, garlic scapes, herb bunches, kale, and our Sole Food greens mix 
July:  sweet peppers, onion, tomatoes, leeks, carrots, hot peppers, and lettuces 

 

Pickup– You will have the option to choose from a pickup day of Tuesday or Thursday, pending availability.Boxes will be available for pickup from our farm located in the Olympic Village (299 W 1st Ave).  

 

Health and Food Safety 

We believe that local products grown here in Vancouver are healthier and safer than those being shipped in from elsewhere and handled by many people. We also know that under current circumstances farmers must act with extreme caution and care. We are working with new protocols for handling and distributing our food, following safe physical distancing and disinfecting standards throughout the season. Although we have endeavored to eliminate plastic bags, with the current health crisis we have no choice but to use plastic bags for any items that cannot be peeled or cooked. All packaging and preparing of boxes is done in a sanitary environment using food safe protocols with disposable gloves, and practicing physical distancing. All staff will be screened for health issues, and our pickup and online payment system allow food to get to you with minimal human contact.
