Winter CSA Baskets
Sign up for the Ottawa Farm Fresh Winter CSA baskets and receive up to 20 weekly baskets filled with hearty winter vegetables to keep you warm and cozy all through the winter!
This year our Winter CSA is going longer than ever. We've made the investments in infrastructure necessary to make it happen. A larger cold room, a heated pick up area, and expanded crop plantings are all coming together to make the 2023/24 Winter CSA longer than ever.
We're closing the circle and helping you eat local longer!

The veggies you'll find in your Winter CSA will change as the season progresses.
Early on your basket might not differ greatly from summer options, depending on how mother nature treats us, then slowly shifting towards more comforting winter fare, such as roots and hearty greens. As the seasons transition and we move into early spring you can expect more frost kissed greens as the earth begins to burst back into life!
This is what eating local year round looks like - a menu that slowly shifts and provides us with just what our body wants and needs every step of the way.
