Community Shared Agriculture is a partnership between the farmer and people who value fresh, local produce. CSA members register, in the spring; then during the growing season, they receive a weekly collection of fresh

farm vegetables. Your registration and payment helps farmers plan for the crops and costs such as seeds and equipment. CSA members share with the farmer, the risks and the bounty of the farming season. Our goal is to

provide you with a variety of healthy farm-fresh vegetables. Cochrane Family Farm is a certified organic, family based farm that does not believe in or use any herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers.

Come and join us for the upcoming 2016 season! Vegetables grown on our farm are all from unmodified, organic heritage seeds and we grow over 90 varieties of

different vegetables so your choices will be immense. We also will be bringing in a few products from other small natural method or organic farmers as needed, and will offer in-season berries, preserves, and home baked items.

Why choose CSA? There are numerous benefits to eating local, naturally grown vegetables.

Vegetables really are super foods! They’re low in calories, packed full of vitamins that keep you healthy and fibre that keeps you feeling full.

Buying local means that your money stays local. The farmers receive their payments and in turn reinvest the money in their community, keeping our local economy strong,

It’s great for the environment. Since everything is grown locally, far fewer petroleum products are needed to transport the food, and as we mentioned no chemicals are used or added.

There's nothing better than crisp, fresh vegetables and since CSA vegetables don’t spend any time traveling, or waiting on store shelves, you know what your getting is farm-fresh and delicious!

On the back of this flyer there are pricing options and a sign up form for our Vegetable CSA. Call or email and we will be happy to discuss everything with you.

What is that? I don’t know how to cook this. Should I store these in the fridge? Not to worry! Your CSA share will come with helpful recipes, storage information and much more!
