Behind every basket of fresh, delicious veggies is a whole lot of planning, preparation, hard work, and investment.
From choosing seeds and planning crops to preparing beds and building our team, the work of growing next season’s food starts long before the first seed goes into the ground.
Feeding more than 300 families every week is a responsibility we take seriously, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. But making it all happen takes a community of people who believe in local, organic food and are willing to invest in it.
That’s where you come in!
We're excited to kick off 2027 Early Bird CSA Registration, and we've got a couple of great reasons to get your renewal sorted early.
Early Bird CSA Registration for 2027 Is ON!
Ready to reserve your veggies for next season? Register for a Full Season, Regular, or Summer 2027 CSA by October 31, 2026, and you'll receive:
2024 Prices for Your 2027 Veggies!
Yes, you read that right, we're rolling back CSA prices to 2024 rates!
We've been listening to your feedback. We know that for some households, the weekly CSA basket has occasionally felt like more than they can comfortably keep up with. For 2027, we're planning to stabilize our CSA sizes with this feedback in mind, helping strike a better balance between providing an abundant harvest and making sure your weekly veggies are manageable and enjoyed to the fullest. Our goal is to keep delivering great value while making your CSA experience work even better for your household.
A Free Bonus Basket!
That's right, your early registration also comes with a complimentary basket in the form of a Farm Store gift card! We'll issue your digital gift card after October 31, giving you a little something extra to enjoy at the Farm Store.
Two great reasons to get your 2027 CSA booked before the end of October!
REGISTER FOR YOUR CSA TODAY
A Quick Note About Payment Options
We know that every household has a budget to manage, and we want your CSA to work for you.
We also want to be transparent about the realities of running a small farm. Every credit card transaction costs us more than 2.7% in processing fees. When you're operating on the tight margins of a small farm, those fees add up quickly. We typically retain only about 15% of our monthly profits to pay Farmer Jo and reinvest in the farm's operations, so every dollar really does make a difference.
If you're able to pay by cash or e-Transfer, more of your money stays right here at the Farm, supporting our team, our fields, and the food we grow for our community.
That said, we understand that everyone's financial circumstances are different. We offer credit card payments and instalment plans to give you flexibility and help make your CSA more manageable. Choose the payment method that works best for you!
Prefer to Pay by e-Transfer?
If you would like to use e-Transfer, here's how:
1. Enter the code ETRANSFER at checkout.
2. Send your payment to info@ottawafarmfresh.com.
3. Include your order number in the e-Transfer message so we can match your payment to your registration.
Once your payment is received and matched to your order, your registration will be confirmed.
RESERVE YOUR 2027 VEGETABLES
One of the best parts of farming is knowing who's sitting around the dinner table enjoying the food we grow.
Every CSA member is part of something bigger than a weekly basket of vegetables.
You're helping keep local, organic farming alive. You're supporting the people who work hard to grow your food. And you're helping build a stronger, more connected local food system for everyone.
Your commitment makes a real difference, and we're so grateful to have you in our corner. Thank you for being part of our farm family! We’re already looking ahead to the 2027 growing season and can't wait to grow with you again.
