Welcome to the Field's Farmstead CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) for 2025! This form is for those who would like to join our CSA and receive a share of the fresh, healthy produce from our farm (and occasionally other local farms) through our Weekly Veggie Basket.

We use the best and most natural farming practices available to us. We never use pesticides of any kind, ever! — not even "organically approved" ones commonly used in industrial organic farming. If you're curious about how we grow our food, feel free to check out our website, videos, or chat with me directly.

Our CSA system has improved from last year! We have 2 different membership options:

The partial membership is a flexible, no-commitment option. Each week, you’ll receive the email with our available items. You can order whatever you want, there is no minimum. Then you come pick it up on your chosen pick-up day and pay for what you got. 

If you spend $30 or more on any given week, you'll get a $3 discount.

You don't have to pay anything upfront.

The Full membership involves an upfront payment of $400. For that, you'll get $500 in CSA credits, spread out over each week.

So for each of the 20 weeks of the CSA, you'll get $25 per week in credit, effectively giving you a 20% discount on your weekly share. If you want more than $25 of items, you can order extra and pay the difference. However, if you miss a week, you give up that week’s credit. While it isn't a guarantee, I can try to accommodate a double share if you let me know in advance that you’ll be away.

Also, you will get priority when I don't have enough vegetables for everyone.

Every week, you will get a box of produce from our farm. You can choose from any of the produce that we currently have in season. The things we produce each year are:

• Eggs
• Lettuce, Spinach, Kale, Chard, Cabbage, Bok Choi
• Tomatoes, Peppers, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Squash
• Carrots, Beets, Radishes, Turnips, Potatoes
• Onions, Garlic, Scallions, Chives, Cilantro, Parsley, Basil, Mint, Oregano, Thyme
• Sweet Potatoes (sourced from my friend's organic farm)
• Herbal teas and incense
• Herbal skincare and bath salts
• Crafts and art (embroidery, jewellery, hats, clothing, watercolour paintings - often made from farm grown/found materials)

The availability depends on the time of year, the weather, and how the garden is generally doing. 

Every week, you’ll receive a form via email where you can choose which vegetables you’d like for your share. If you prefer, you can leave the veggie choices blank, and I’ll select a mix of what’s available for you.

The form will be sent out every Sunday or Monday, and I ask that you submit your preferences by two days before your pick-up day. This helps me stay organized and ensures we have everything ready for you.

While I’ll do my best to fulfill your order exactly as requested, please note that I can’t guarantee availability each week due to factors like weather, gardening challenges, or life challenges. 

We have various pick-up options, for where and when you can pick up your share:

• Fridays at the farm, (1522 Moore Dr, Cavan) from 1pm to 6pm
• Saturday at the Peterborough Farmer's Market, 7am to 1pm ( 136 Lansdowne St)
• Mondays at the farm, (1522 Moore Dr, Cavan) from 1pm to 6pm

We are also pretty flexible, so feel free to ask for a different pick up time when you need it.

If at any point you’re dissatisfied with the quality of your share, please reach out to me directly, and I will work with you to resolve the issue. I want everyone to feel good about their experience with the CSA.

You can leave the CSA at any time for any reason. However, please note that there is no money-back guarantee once payment has been made, as the funds are used to plan and prepare for the season. I also may remove any member from the CSA, but I would give you your money back in that case. I want everyone to be satisfied as much as possible.

This CSA operates as a Private Membership Association (PMA). By joining, you agree that this agreement is completely outside the jurisdiction of any government, corporation, or legal authority of any kind. As a result, this CSA is not governed by state or federal regulations.

You agree not to bring any legal claims or involve any governmental, corporate, or other legal entity against Field's Farmstead, me, my farm, my family, or anyone associated with the before-mentioned, in relation to this CSA or any activities under this agreement.

This is to protect the good farm vibes, and the mission of the CSA.

The words, terms, and meanings in this agreement are as I understand them.

As part of your CSA membership, you’re invited to our CSA Member Potlucks! These gatherings are a great way to visit the farm, meet other members, explore the gardens, and experience the farm’s atmosphere. They’re held a few times throughout the season and are open to the whole family.

Since this CSA is a private membership association, all produce and goods are self-inspected. I encourage you to take advantage of opportunities like the potlucks and CSA pick-up days to visit the farm, ask questions, and see where your food comes from. Please be prepared for the occasional dirt, bug holes, bugs, etc, which are a reality in genuine organic gardening. If you have any questions, please feel free to talk to me about it. 

If you’re ready to join, please fill out this membership form and choose your payment option. If you have any questions about the CSA, the payment options, or the agreement, feel free to reach out to me directly. You can reach me at:

I’m happy to chat and make sure everything is clear.

The first planned week for pick-up is Jun ??, 2025. You'll get the first weekly email and you can choose your first basket.

You should receive an automatic email confirming that your submission worked. then I will get back to you personally as soon as I can. Thanks!
