Frequently Asked Questions
COVID 19 - What is our plan?
What size share do I need?
Where do I receive my vegetables (aside from home delivery)?
We have several meeting locations in Calgary and one in Lethbridge.
- Home Delivery to obtain your fresh produce from the safety of your home.
- We will continue to follow strict food safety and sanitation guidelines.
- All orders will be prepackaged to ensure your food stays safe from harvest to your door.
- Continued monitoring of staff health and hygiene.
What size share do I need?
- An average 4 person household would generally be well fed with the medium sized share. Vegetarians, larger families or those planning to preserve part of the harvest would be best suited with the large share.
- All share sizes are larger this year because the fruit is added to the share (for customization of your fruit choices).
- Dairy products are available to swap or purchase as extras.
