2024 shares now available.

We are proud to be Edmonton’s longest-running Certified Organic CSA (Community Supported Agriculture): producing for our 24th season!

Our CSA links consumers who want local, fresh, organically grown produce, to a local farmer. Members buy a “Share” in springtime for their summer vegetables. The “Share” money is then used by the farm to purchase seeds, fuel, machinery, greenhouse supplies, pay for workers, and start another growing season at the farm. Members (Sharers) help the farm with the early-season costs of getting the farm ready for another growing season. They later share the rewards of their early investment in the farm, by receiving a weekly box of our amazing, fresh, nutritious produce .

Shares distributions start mid-June and run until mid-October. The start date will depend on when our early crops mature, and the end date is weather-dependent. Once the produce is ready in our field it will be picked, washed, boxed, labelled and then transported to the CSA pick-up locations on the same day. This ensures that our produce is at its FRESHEST and is full of vitamins and other nutrients.

Sharers then pick up their produce each TUESDAY afternoon from their pickup location: either North Edmonton (Westmount) or South Edmonton (Strathcona). Each week offers a different combination of our fresh produce.

A FULL SHARE typically feeds a family of four, or two vegetarians/vegans, for a week. A typical weekly Share often includes: bunched carrots and beets; potatoes; broccoli or cauliflower; kale or chard; onion and/or leek; lettuces; herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro); peas or beans; radish; summer squash; tomato; peppers.

There are two options for payment, either by cheque (to Sparrow’s Nest Organics, Box 52, Opal AB, T0A 2R0) or e-transfer (to: mail@sparroworganics.com).
