So you're thinking about signing up for our weekly vegetable Baskets?

Our weekly vegetable baskets work great for some folks but they aren't for everyone and that's okay! Here are a few questions to ask yourself to help you decide if they'll work for you.

Is having a direct relationship with your farmer important to you?
Through participating in our vegetable basket program you will develop a direct relationship with the folks who are growing your food. One of your farmers (Myk, Marena or Robin) will be present every week when you pick up your vegetables. We also send out a weekly newsletter exclusively for our vegetable basket customers which features an update of what’s happening on the farm, photos and recipes for that week’s vegetables. Each season is its own journey and we’d be happy to have you along for the ride. 

Are you willing to try new foods?
If this is your first time trying a vegetable box program, you might find it to be an adjustment having us choose your weekly vegetables for you. Being exposed to new vegetables is one of the main advantages to joining our vegetable basket program - as first generation farmers, we have all discovered new vegetables which we have learned to love. We can tell you that none of us grew up eating celeriac! Through our newsletter and our weekly pick ups we will provide you tips and recipes to help you learn to love new vegetables too!

Do you have time to cook?
When you sign up for our vegetable basket program, you’ll receive a box of fresh vegetables every week. For some folks this is an exciting prospect and for other folks this can be a bit intimidating. We aim to provide you with a variety of vegetables that can be enjoyed as salads, snacks and in cooked meals. If you already cook the majority of your meals at home then you will likely find you can easily eat the contents of your basket in one week. If you tend to eat out more, having a weekly vegetable basket may encourage you to start cooking more at home!

Are you willing to adjust your mindset and schedule to fit the weekly vegetable basket?
Getting a weekly vegetable basket can be an adjustment if you’re used to buying most of your food at the grocery store or the market - it may take you a while to get into the routine of picking up your basket every week and becoming more creative in the kitchen to use all of the vegetables you’re receiving. This is okay! We are here to provide support and inspiration along the way - we love vegetables and we want to help you love them too!
