Fresh Organic Grown Produce At A Fair Price For Both You And The Farmer
Based on the Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) model, people purchase annual shares in the farm's harvest and, in return, receive weekly food baskets full of fresh produce throughout the season.
The weekly harvest is shared between all members, with variety and quantity varying with the time of year. Smaller quantities will be in your basket early in the season while July, August and September will have an abundance.
Consumer demand for locally produced, affordable organic food has driven the evolution of CSA's.
When you join, you are not just buying vegetables, you are supporting sustainable farming practices and contributing to a reliable, healthy, local food supply and income for the farmers.
WHAT IS A SHARE?
One share is geared to provide produce for a family of four. Larger families may want to consider purchasing two shares.
We can provide shares for 35 families. Call early to reserve your food basket.

ORGANIC PRODUCE
Growing food organically includes such practices as the use of crop rotations, cover cropping and using natural ammendments to improve the soil and plant health.
Growing organicaly is more labour intensive than traditional farming. Edencrest Farms is in the process of organic certification. We only use organic untreated seeds and heirloom varieties. We do not use any form of chemicals, herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers.
We will host a Farm and Garden Open House on June 7, 2008, from 9:00am - 2:00pm. You will see the gardens and the pick up area for your baskets of produce.
Bring your family to see the new born calves, chickens, bunnies, lambs and horses and experience the beautiful view overlooking Minesing Valley.
