Summer CSA Sign Up 2022

Interested in purchasing a Summer CSA? Regular sign-ups are open NOW! These summer shares begin in June 2022 and offer several pickup locations in both the Okanagan/Similkameen and Lower Mainland (see below).

What is CSA, you ask?

Community Supported Agriculture - or CSA - is an alternative way of purchasing healthy produce while supporting local farmers. Joining a CSA program is the perfect way to learn about the vital connections between food, health, local communities, and the environment.

What's in the box?

Each box includes local, seasonal, and nutritious organic produce from Klippers Organics. We always make sure to throw in extra produce to ensure our CSA members a really great deal. These weekly boxes contain enough produce for 2 vegetable-loving adults or a small family! Small shares start at $510 (based on $30/week). Larger shares are also available. See our website for details or to sign up! Along with your actual box, CSA members will also receive weekly emails with their boxes which will include recipes, tips & tricks, and educational materials regarding the product received, the regenerative-farming practices used on-site, etc.

Sign-up now through May. The deadline is May 1, 2022.

CSA vs. Grocery Store Cost Comparison

By Derek Gray • 21 Apr, 2023

We'll start off by saying that as grocery prices continue to increase, our CSA rates have remained unchanged. We understand that many households are feeling financial strain, and the last thing we want to do is contribute to this. Taking part in Community Supported Agriculture allows individuals and families to buy directly from local farmers, providing a variety of fresh, seasonal produce that is healthier for you, the planet, and your budget - which is particularly important right now. Furthermore, we'd like to highlight that although our CSA rates are based on $30/week (small) and $50/week (large), we always provide more than this.
