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.
Fees & Schedule
June to October
Weekly (20 weeks)
Accessible Price: $460
Regular Price: $600
Supporter Price: $740
Bi-Weekly (10 weeks)
Accessible Price: $230
Regular Price: $300
Supporter Price: $370
Sliding Scale 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.
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.
This program model is known as a CSA, which stands for Community-Supported Agriculture.
All produce is certified organic and grown at BCCF
A different combination of seasonal vegetables will be offered each week, selected by the farm
An approximate list of vegetable items in the share will be emailed the day before, with a weekly recipe
The opportunity to trade items is available for added customization of your share (trading is not available at the Big Carrot however)
In addition to your share items, members will be free to pick their own herbs and cut flowers from a designated area in the field, at no extra charge
Members will be allowed to pick their own raspberries and apples, when in season and according to quantities available, for a set fee per volume container
Members will receive a 10% discount on any value-added products for sale at our farm stand

Payment Options

Online credit card payment through our registration form
Cheque payment by mail or at the farm
Cash payment at the farm
Payment Schedule*
Registration: Full payment or 1st installment is due
August 1st: 2nd installment is due
*In our commitment to accessibility, if you need additional payment accommodations, please contact us at produce@blackcreekfarm.ca.
The first pick-up is scheduled for early to mid June, depending on spring weather and growing conditions. Closer to June, we will contact all members to confirm the exact start date.
Note: that bi-weekly members are divided into two streams, so if you are picking up bi-weekly you have a 50/50 chance of starting one week later than someone who picks up weekly or someone from the other stream.
Our crop plan is designed to ensure a diversity of vegetables every week. However, during peak harvest periods for specific crops, you may receive a repeated item for several consecutive weeks. This usually happens with crops such as tomatoes, kale, and zucchini. However, we strive to ensure that each weekly share includes a balanced mix of root crops, leafy greens, and fruiting crops!
We understand life happens. If you cannot pick up one week, we encourage you to send a friend to pick up for you!
Otherwise, please let us know in advance. We will pack your produce and store it in our walk-cooler. You can pick up your bag on Fridays from 9 am to 5 pm, or on Saturdays from 9 am to 11 am. However, we encourage everyone to pick up on Thursdays, since we do not have the capacity to pack and store a large volume of produce bags.
All the produce in our Harvest Share program is grown on the farm. The only exception is if we have a major crop loss due to weather, pests or disease. If this happens, only organic produce will be purchased in, and the purchased vegetable and its source will be clearly indicated at the weekly pick-up.
