Park Road Organic Harvest is an organic farmers market in Rosedale where you can access locally gown organic vegetables and organic fruit.
Every Wednesday an organic farmers market grows out of our Park Road Healing Arts storefront and into a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) environment. This CSA supplies locally grown, organic fresh vegetables and fresh fruit; the building blocks of optimum health.
How does A CSA Farmers Market work?
The Park Road Organic Harvest CSA program supplies members (you) fresh, local, organically grown produce every week. This program will continue from June to October.
As a CSA member you purchase weekly “share”. A Regular Share costs $26/week and a Large Share costs $36/week. This system allows members to choose the produce that best serves their dietary needs, and members are able to take multiple servings of a favourite vegetable. If at any point during the season you decide you want to change the size of your membership, you are free to do so, and you will either pay or be refunded the difference.
Your Choices of Organic Fresh Vegetables and Fresh Fruit
A selection of freshly harvested organic produce will be available at our organic farmers market in Rosedale, with the amount of variety dependant on the season. The Cutting Veg Organic Farm specializes in growing vegetables and herbs; thus, there will be a minimal amount of fruit available. The following table shows a sample of the organic produce you can expect to enjoy at the various times throughout the growing season.
