FRIEND OF THE FARM

We know being a CSA member is not for everyone, summer holidays or specific eating habits can make it tough.

 
The Friend of the Farm share is a way that you can be connected to the farm, support us by paying up front (much like the traditional CSA, of helping us with seed, equipment and labour costs early in the season) acknowledges people’s active schedule and allows members to still reap the benefits of fresh, local, organic vegetables.

HOW IT WORKS

You can use your Friend of the Farm Share anywhere we are:

At Our Farm Stand

on Westham Island

At Any Vancouver

Farmers Market

 

Bulk Purchases

canning & special orders

    • The Friend of the Farm share is a flexible system that allows you to purchase the kind of produce you want, when you want it.

    • Like a traditional CSA, you purchase the Friend of the Farm share in the spring at either $350, $550 or $750 levels
    • We don’t pack a box for you, instead you can shop at the Farm Stand or Farmers Markets and purchase what you want in the quantities you want. Your account will be charged each time you purchase produce.
    • Use your card like a debit card to buy Cropthorne produce at any of our farmers markets or farmstand on Westham Island.
