What is Harvest Share?

Black Creek Community Farm’s Harvest Share Program is a vegetable subscription program. Members pay in advance for a full season of certified organic farm-grown produce, and they come to the farm every week OR every other week to pick up their “share” of the harvest. This program model is known as a CSA, which stands for Community-Supported Agriculture. Learn more about CSAs here.

By committing to farm-fresh vegetables, you are ensuring a nutrient-packed seasonal diet for yourself and your loved ones! Our members report consuming more vegetables after joining our program and they look forward to connecting with our growers each week during the pick-up.

Pricing

We offer sliding scale pricing for our membership options. Every member gets the same amount and quality of vegetables every week, regardless of the price you pay.* For those who choose our “supporter” price option, you are helping to make our sliding scale model possible.

*The total value of each week’s produce selection is $30. If there is a week when we do not meet this value (i.e: crop loss due to weather, pests, or disease), extra produce will be given in subsequent weeks to ensure that you receive your annual membership value.

Payment Options

You can pay in full or in two equal installments. Your full payment or first installment is due at the time of registration. We accept the following forms of payment:

• Online credit card payment through our registration form
• Cheque payment by mail or at the farm
• Cash payment at the farm

*In our commitment to accessibility, if you need additional payment accommodations, please contact us at produce@blackcreekfarm.ca.
