Information on CSA Shares

SunRoot Farm offers a wide range of organic vegetables - including salad greens, root crops, tomatoes, beans, peppers, and medicinal and culinary herbs for four months, from mid-June to mid-October.

2009 is a fallow year at the farm. Please contact us in 2010 if you are interested in a CSA share.

 

SunRoot offers both full and half shares. Full shares meet the vegetables needs of a medium to large family, and half shares meet the vegetable needs of an individual or small family.

 

Customers must reserve their shares by April 1st with deposit of 50% of the share price. The remaining 50% is due before August 1st.

Shares are delivered to a drop-off point in Halifax.

Below is a sample of produce available based on actual deliveries. There are slight variations from year to year due to weather and products available.
