LATEST FROM THE FARM — winter csa

Winter is coming! It's a few months off but we're already looking forward to the crisp days, cozy nights, and a kitchen filled with comforting local food. Yes, you read that right - local food in Ottawa all winter long!

Root vegetables are the backbone of the Winter CSA. Every week you come to pick up your veggies you’ll get to fill up your basket from our smorgasbord of organic root veggies - some familiar friends, and some you’ve maybe never seen before! That’s one of the beauties of CSA - the opportunity to try new and unique vegetables that you’ve never heard of before.

The Winter CSA will run in much the same way as the Summer CSA, but we encourage everyone to read the details below so that you are fully prepared for the winter abundance to come!

It’s hard to believe it, but even here in Ottawa we can be eating a variety of organic local greens right through the winter. While most of the salad that you’ll find in the grocery store has travelled in excess of 4000 kilometers to get to your plate, ours has travelled less than 50 meters.
