Holiday Box

Because the farmstand will be open right up to the holidays (and brimming with lots of seasonal veggies for your holiday meal) this year we are not doing a Holiday box for 2018. Please check back for more information in 2019.

Our farmstand is open Saturdays until December 22nd from 10-3.

A one time fully customizable box of veggies for your holiday meal.

Self Serve pick-up at the farm on Saturday, December 23rd, between 10-3pm.

Orders due by Monday, December 18th

Minimum $50 order

Not bad for almost the end of the winter market season. Potatoes, beets, spinach, rapini, chard, shallots, leeks, celeriac, green garlic, chives, eggs, green onions and parsnips down at the Nat today
🥕 to 🍅 Today we moved the greenhouse off the carrots and onto where the tomatoes are going in next week.
Green vibes on a rainy day. We are down at the Nat with lots of seasonal treats until 2pm today. Check out our Instagram stories for more 🌱 📸 @izz_ro
Lately I’ve been focusing more on raising a family than on the field work and it’s been amazing to see the farm and everyone here flourish. As a farm owner, it use to all be so overwhelming, not thinking I could ever step back and slow down but with a strong crew, tamed ego and organized processes, it has become an easy reality. I love that our farm is a place that young farmers can learn and grow before they start on their own farm. I never thought it would be something that would be so enriching for me but it’s one of my favourite parts of being a farm owner. So for now it’s hauling these two kiddos around with me, goofing off when we can, while supporting our crew of dedicated young farmers getting all the day to day work done.
In case you missed it, we are looking for help at our Vancouver summer farmers markets. •West End on Saturday starting in either June or July •Kits on Sunday starting in July •Main St on Wednesday starting in either June or July
Another benefit of farm life: easily weigh the newest addition to the farm. Happy three months GussyGoose
Regular Winter market shoppers Kailey and Eric have been taking advantage of our potato of the week sale this winter by trying a new variety each week, making their way through a rainbow of colours and fantastic flavours. Come try for yourself! This week’s potato is Kennebec, the champion of French Fries! 🥔🏆 🍟
End of the month means inventory time. We keep track so we can adjust numbers for future year and for our organic certification. These once jam-packed coolers are emptying out making this job pretty easy this time of year. #megaandmama #sleepingonthejob #marchonthefarm
Along with our farmers markets we are hiring for our FARM STAND too. We are looking for two folks to join the team from June until August (or beyond!) to help at the stand and with our CSA. Check out our website for the details
We are getting ready for the summer market season and are have some openings at each of our summer markets. It is a super fun job, especially for those who love food 🍅🥬🌶🍆🥕🍓🥒🍉🥦🍠🍈 Check out our website for more information and how to apply. #summerjobs #farmersmarket
Just got back from Northern California and it was a perfect little break before the season really sets in. This winter has been pretty boring full of colds and low energy and felt pretty housebound with a new babe. Now refreshed and ready for a new season as well as looking forward to getting back to work as much as I can with a new baby. Spring used to be my least favourite season and now it’s my favourite. It’s a time of year where there’s definitely things to do but there’s not there’s mad pace. Purpose but not chaos. #farmermusings #yeareleven
Cropthorne is proud to be a woman-owned, women-led farm and currently our farm crew is 100% lady farmers. 3 little notes on #IWD Nothing makes me prouder than knowing our daughters (and now son!) view this vocation as nothing out of the normal. I love seeing our Westham Island neighbours in a big ol' tractor ripping down the road about to slay it in the field. #solidarity (looking at you @kateandherboys @westhamislandherbfarm !!!) 🚜🚜 And a mega shoutout to the 'farmer's wife' who bring lunches out to the field, who make feeding harvest crews look so easy. To the 'farmer's wife' who knows the books and cost of production better than anyone else. To the 'farmer's wife' who doesn't get paid, yet holds the jobs of parts runner, of mother, of cheerleader, of extra help at harvest. To all the 'farmer's wives' who have pioneered and persevered to allow my generation to be 'just' farmers. 💜 #iwd #farmher #womenwhofarm

Crysta is playing surgeon today on our tomatoes. We graft our tomatoes for a healthy, balanced plant. It definitely takes a bit of work (and a strong stomach!) grafting them, but well worth the effort. 👩🏼‍⚕️🍅 🔪 🌱
We’ve got a deal on our Red Chieftain potatoes today at the Nat. Come on down and say 👋🏼 to Hannah and the rest of the crew on this beautiful, spring-like day☀️
😍😍😍 Radicchio is back at the winter market tomorrow. #bitterisbetter
