Organic food delivery from New Terra Farm! May 21, 2010: Thanks, folks we have reached capacity and are no longer accepting CSA members for the 2010 season. Each year we have the capacity to add only a few new members, first-come, first-served. We will still have pasture-raised chicken and pork available, use the contact form to reach us if you are interested. We do a survey every year, and the vast majority of our organic food delivery customers rate the taste, appearance and quality of our vegetables as 'good' to 'great'. Some of their comments:
"We loved the snow peas and summer squash"! "Wow! So much better than non-organic"! "Excellent quality, keep up the good work. Friends were very impressed with the concept and the quality of food, as are we". Why go natural?We believe natural foods taste better, as well as being better for you. Its guilt-free extravagance! We don't worry so much about diets and just focus on growing (or buying) and eating naturally good foods, in as fresh a state as possible. We grow all our veggies without chemical herbicides or pesticides.And, all our animals are raised on pasture, no cages or confinement. Our animals get only certified organic grain that we buy from a local farmer. Nothing but the best for our piggies, chickens, lambs and cows! You could say that we actually grow (wait for it . . . . ) green eggs and ham!
Our subscription organic food delivery program provides farm fresh produce for a (limited) number of member families. We will deliver right to your door a wide variety of vegetables as they become available throughout the growing year.
When you order from us, you are eating the same food we do. This is your assurance of freshness and quality.
The price for a New Terra Farm full basket of farm fresh produce, suitable for a family of four or two vegetarians, is $900 for the entire season approx. 20 weeks, from early June through about Thanksgiving (October), depending on weather. We estimate the retail value of a full share to be well over $1000. This averages to about $45 per week, to get fresh, natural, local veggies delivered to your door. The price for the half-basket, suitable for a family of two or 1 vegetarian is $500. This amounts to about $25 per week. Orders are payable in two equal installments. You can pay securely using your credit card or PayPal, or contact us for other ways to pay. See contact form below. Note we are no longer accepting new members for 2010 (we need a cut-off to be able to plan and grow sufficient quantities and varieties of vegetables). Our organic food delivery service currently serves Merrickville, Burritts Rapids, Oxford Mills, Bishops Mills, Kemptville, Oxford Station, and the surrounding area. If you are in our area you can contact us to reserve for the next season. Note that the last two years our organic food delivery service reached capacity quickly and had to put some folks on the waiting list, so reserve your spot early. If you are not sure you are in our area use the contact form below to contact us. Use the drop-down menus on the buttons below to select the half-basket or the full-basket, and to pay in 2 installments or the full balance. Payments are processed safely on the PayPal Secure Server.

We won!! Yes, New Terra Farm, whilst remaining humble, has won the prestigious Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence (just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) Our organic food delivery CSA customers know we use both new-fangled technology (computers, spreadsheets, e-mail, web pages) and low-input farming methods (companion planting, row covers, raised beds, drip irrigation) on our farm. We wrote up our unique marketing and management model, and the judges in their wisdom decided we were winners! You can see our smiling faces on the OMAFRA Innovation Award page Scroll down, we're there. The Farmer's Forum also wrote a nice front-page article about our farm; its sort of like getting on the cover of Rolling Stone, except we deal with a different kind of 'weed' and 'grass' than they do! On a serious note, a big 'thank you' to the folks who supported us by joining our CSA organic food delivery program - certainly a 'leap of faith' in 2006, our first year. And 2007 was even better, with 46 families supporting us in our environmentally 2008 was a tough year for growers, but we kept on truckin'. And we took our lessons learned and planned on a better year for 2009.
