| Fertile Ground is a community-oriented, ecological farm offering a bounty of vegetable goodness. If fresh, local & organic food gets you excited, we’ll
probably get along. We sell our vegetables primarily through CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - this is a way of connecting you directly with us - the farmers who grow your food. We love our farm community. CSA members enjoy a weekly share of the freshest, most delicious vegetables - you'll taste the difference! Our Main Season CSA runs June-Oct and offers a wide diversity of 100% locally-grown, organic veggies, as well as options to buy other local products. More CSA details here. Pick-ups are Fridays at our farm in West Waterloo, or Tuesdays in Mount Hope neighbourhood of Kitchener. (Tuesdays fill up fast, so don't delay if this is the pick-up you want.)

Community Shares Fund
Donations to our Community Shares Fund pay us to grow & donate food through subsidized CSA shares and The Cambridge Food Bank's Mobile Markets. You can see our 2023 Community Shares Report here.
There's a place on the registration form to donate or request a reduced CSA Share price. |
