CSA for weeks of January 20 to February 17, 2025: This is a one-time purchase for 5 weeks of our CSA program.

The focus of our CSA Program is a GTA drop point delivery of truly free-range ethical eggs (from hens with names) and fresh organic salad and cooking greens, harvested at the peak of freshness. Some of these greens are rare, and you won’t find them in the grocery store - we grow heirloom european varieties like agretti, minutina and claytonia, in addition to the tried and true favourites like kale, lettuce and spinach. This seasonal share will also incorporate some vacuum-packed & frozen goods made from our produce at the height of the season, shelf-stable canned preserves and root crops. We grow every single thing we sell, and we are happy to talk to you about our regenerative growing practices. Animal welfare, soil health and habitat preservation are our absolute top priorities.

Since the hens deserve a bit of a break from a full summer of laying, we will only have half dozen egg shares available for this session. We don’t like to force them to lay in the winter by using supplemental light, and we support their off-season nutrition by keeping them on green grass as long as possible, and feeding them a bit of extra protein in the colder months.

- $5 per half dozen eggs x 5 weeks = $25

- $40 of greens, preserves & roots x 5 weeks = $200

- fuel surcharge = $40

CSA (GTA): no eggs share $240

- $40 of greens, preserves & roots x 4 weeks = $200

- fuel surcharge = $40

If you are interested in a farm pick-up, please email us at smallspadegardening@gmail.com and we will make arrangements for you!

Delivery day will be Monday afternoons, we will be at four appointed drop points throughout the city - Danforth & Broadview, Christie Pits, Trinity Bellwoods and Roncesvalles & Queen areas. If you live outside this area, please contact us before placing an order and we will likely be able to accommodate you. We are working on adding more points throughout the city. You will be responsible for picking up your share at these sites throughout the day on Monday afternoon.

NB: Crop planning for a CSA is a delicate and complex balance, and our vegetables are sown and grown to mature at an intended time - so we can harvest them at peak freshness for you, every single week. Because of this, we unfortunately cannot accommodate requests to pause, double up or refund your share if you will be away on vacation during one of the weeks of the CSA. The vegetables keep growing whether we are there to harvest them or not - this is also why we run our CSA session in shorter 6 to 8 week bursts, instead of the typical 5-6 month CSA commitment. This way, you can dip out if you need to for a session. If you will be away for more than a week, our suggestion is to allow us to donate your share to a shelter or local organization.

Thanks for supporting your small, local and sustainable farm! We appreciate your business!
