This is how we do it...

We get bags of produce on an even & odd week system. Members pick up their baskets between 3 and 8 pm on Tuesdays. There is no work requirement in this Co-op! Actual quantities of produce will vary according to availability, price and case size. This co-op has been in existance for over 30 years, changing with the times and the needs of the members.

You don’t have to join the Co-op to try it out – Choose the size basket you think you would be most interested in and order a Trial Basket.

Produce day is on Tuesdays – Pick up is between 3 and 8 pm, but we are flexable and pickups on following days can be arranged. We will periodically take a week off if a school holiday falls on or near produce day. Please check the calendar. If a sudden change will occur in the schedule, I will inform you through email and the Member Newsletter. Produce is usually sorted and ready for pick-up in my garage by 3:00 pm – sometimes even earlier.

Remembering to pick up is your responsibility – Reminders are emailed out on produce day. If your bag is still here the following morning or later, you may get a gentle reminder email. But, We will not always be around to remind you that it is produce day. Please mark your calendars. If you forget a basket, it is still your responsibility to pay for it. The co-op is not responsible for baskets or the produce quality, if it's not picked up on produce day.

If you need to cancel a week for any reason – You can notify the co-op by email or in writing on your invoice by noon the Monday before produce day.

There are dairy and other packaged organic items for sale too – from the refrigerators in the garage, that you pay for when you pick them up. The dairy and meats come from Pennisylvania and New York. You can also order whole cases of any fruit or vegetable through the co-op.

There is a $50 Membership fee – It is a lifetime membership which includes two boatbags to use for your produce. The bags will be made up for you after payment is received.

The 2 boat bags are used to sort and carry home your produce. Each week you bring back the bag from the week before and your produce will be in your other bag. They keep rotating like this. If you forget to bring back your bag, don't worry, the next week your produce will just be in a box instead. Additional boat bags are $15 each. If you decide to leave the co-op, you keep your boat bags.

Our members are not required to donate time – but if you are interested in sorting two to four hours for a free bag of produce, even periodically, please let me know.
