Farm Share Program

paused for the time being - please come visit us at Humber Bay Shores Farmers’ Market!

What is our farm share program?

When you register for our Farm Share Program, your membership guarantees you a share of the harvest for 20 weeks of the growing season. No more waiting in line at the farmers market! Every Wednesday afternoon from Mid-June until October you will receive seasonal, fresh and organically grown produce all grown on our farm. We have 2 pick-up locations in Toronto to choose from.

What Veggies Will Be In Your Shares?

We grow over 50 different varieties! We pick produce at it’s peak ripeness and fill your share with the best we have to offer in season. See our home page for a list of all the veg we grow. We specialize in leafy greens and strive to have those in your shares every week.

Our Commitment To You

By offering the Farm Share Program as a way to access our fresh produce, we are committing to delivering food to our members for 20 weeks and will do everything in our control to bring you the best from our fields. We acknowledge that due to the nature of farming and the weather, there is potential for crop failures. However, this is the advantage of having diversified fields - while some crops may suffer, others may thrive! We have over 50 varieties planned to go into your shares for 2022.

Your Commitment To Us

By registering for a Farm Share Program membership, you are committing to picking up 20 weeks of seasonal produce from our farm via your chosen pick-up location (Colbeck or Blackdown). Please be sure that you are able to pick-up each week during the scheduled time. If you are out of the city some weeks during the summer, try sharing a membership with a buddy or asking a friend to pick-up for you that week. Unfortunately, we (including our pick-up hosts) are unable to accommodate late/missed pick-ups or special requests. All bags will be donated if not pick-up on time.

Why Do We Ask for pre-payment?

Farm Share Programs typically ask for pre-payment to confirm membership spots and plan crops accordingly. It's a symbiotic model. Members commit to our program and we commit to growing veggies just for you. Knowing how many memberships we have to fulfill helps us to simplify and streamline our crop plan. It is also helpful to start our season with some cash flow as 50% of our expenses are Spring start-up costs (think; seeds, compost, soil amendments, potting soil, frost protection etc).
