Explore Our Produce Boxes
Yes - that's right! We are willing to bring your groceries to you. We will deliver fresh farm produce boxes to your door every Thursday afternoon from late June through to Mid October (18 weeks). Every customer gets the same items in their box unless they opt out of the "extra" option. We choose what goes in the boxes - fresh and in season produce only!
It makes a great gift for families or your hard-to-buy-for parents. Show them you love them - buy them healthy fruits and veggies for 18 weeks this summer!
Our produce boxes sell quickly and supply is limited, so get your order in soon!
How Does This Work?
You sign up by email or phone. We get your information and you send payment ( cash, credit card, debit, cheque or e-transfer) for the whole amount of the year. You can find more information on box and delivery options further below. There will be a one time administration fee of $10.00. This helps to cover the expense of organizing the boxes and filling the orders. As of now there is no cost for the box's use. We would appreciate it though if they are returned every week so they can be recycled.
We will run our routes through Wyoming, Petrolia, Corunna, Sarnia, Bright's Grove, and Camlachie every Thursday from 2:00pm until finished. If you are not home leave your box from the week before in an agreed spot and we will leave your box of produce. If you are not home you can cancel your box but there are no refunds, it is still be paid for. You could find someone to take it instead (from your delivery spot) or we can donate it to a family in the community who needs it.
You DO NOT even need to leave your home and fight traffic, find a parking spot and fight the crowds to get the freshest produce. Let us do it for you. This is perfect for busy working families or people who have a difficult time getting around. I also email you the list of items in the box and add recipes, nutritional facts or how to store your produce tips.
Box Options
There are two base sizes of boxes to choose from. A small box for $20 or a large box for $30. Each box contains fresh, quality produce from our farm! Sometimes we add produce from another local farm with the same growing practices that we use.
There is the option of adding an ‘extra’ item to the box for an additional $8.
Small Box - $20
Small Box w/ Extra - $28
Large Box - $30
Large Box w/ Extra - $38
The ‘extra’ item may be a home made jam or relish, honey, goat cheese or an item from our bakery. (All made from scratch like grandma did)
Delivery
When getting your produce box there are two ways you can get it. You can either choose to get it delivered to your house or you can pick it up at our store. There is no fee involved if you choose the pick up option. However if you want it delivered to your house there is a $7 delivery charge per week.

What if I don't like what's in the box?
There will be times you might not like everything in the box but maybe you could be adventurous and try something new or be creative with your cooking. If not than maybe this would be a good time to share with your neighbour :)

No. Once you sign up and pay, we guarantee you will receive your product to the best of our ability. We want your business and your friends and families so we will offer quality produce. Unless there are extenuating circumstances you are signed up for the season. If you go on holidays call to cancel that week or find someone else to pick up your box from your home but you still have to pay for it. If there are extenuating circumstances we will refund for the weeks left minus a 20% administration fee.

You can pay by cash, credit/debit card, e-transfer, or cheque.
We require you to pay up front for the whole year. If you pay before April 30/24 in one amount you will receive a bonus gift from us. A 250 ml bottle of this year's maple syrup. Made by the Mennonites in the Kitchener area. Don't worry - we'll send a pint of blueberries in August so you can make some blueberry pancakes :)
If you don’t want to pay the entire amount up front you can send 2 cheques. One for the first 9 weeks and another post dated for Aug 01/24 for the last 9 weeks. Unfortunately we are not able to offer a free gift for this option. But you will receive the blueberries in August still if the cheque goes through.
All orders need to be prepaid before delivery begins.
