Every box will be different as the season progresses. Here are examples of what you might find in a regular-sized spring, summer, and fall box.

Not yet. We plan to be fully certified organic by July 2024. The application process requires us to wait 15 months after moving to a new growing plot before being certified organic.

Our focus has always been on growing beautiful produce for our CSA members and customers by strictly following the Canadian Organic Standards and sticking to Regenerative Principles as much as possible.

Specifically, our production practices include the following:

• Rotating crop families from field to field, year after year
• Sowing cover crops to build soil, break pest cycles, and suppress weeds
• Using specialized insect netting to reduce pest pressure
• Using row covers as protection from early/late frosts
• Growing crops in soil and under tunnels to extend the season and reduce disease pressure
• Fertilizing with certified organic amendments only
• Spraying with only organic-approved formulas that do not harm beneficial insects or pollinators

You can swap it out at the pickup! There will be a swap box full of extras at every pickup to allow you to swap out a vegetable you don't like in your share for something you love.

We’re here to help you turn those strange-looking vegetables into a mouth-watering dish!

Ask us for ideas when you pick up your share. Also, make sure to read our weekly newsletter for fantastic recipes to use those less common veggies along with storage requirements and a brief description. Often our recipes include two or three of the vegetables on offer that week.

We’re also in the process of compiling all of the recipes we have sent out over the last four years so that CSA members can access all of them through the website.

Yes. Before June 15, 2022, program cancellations will be eligible for a full refund minus a $20 administrative fee and the credit card processing fee.

Program cancellations after June 15, 2022, cannot be refunded.  Heartbeet Farm will have spent most of the funds to buy supplies and pay wages for crops started growing as early as February.

Members are encouraged to find a replacement member and collect payment from that person.  We cannot guarantee assistance in finding a replacement as we are very busy with production and harvest at this time of year.
