What is Willo’ Wind Farm’s CSA?
Willo’Wind Farm is a 50-acre family farm based in Zephyr, Ontario, since 1984. Our garden is cultivated using organic practices and our farm is home to many farm animals and other wildlife.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system of growing and distributing organic produce that restores the connection between farmers and community supporters. CSA systems provide farmers with an equitable return for their labor and establishes a strong foundation for sustainable agriculture while contributing to a healthier environment.
By purchasing a CSA you are guaranteed a weekly portion of fresh vegetables that are harvested straight from our gardens throughout the summer months.
Your commitment also supports sustainable farming, preserves biodiversity, and builds a healthier, local and sustainable food system.
The 2020 season is 20 weeks long: June – October.

Notes
CSA Bin Use Charge
This is an $8 charge on top of the Vegetable CSA, to pay for the use of the blue bins that your vegetables come in. This helps share the cost of replacing missing and worn-out bins, as well as the labor involved in cleaning them.
Food Bank CSA Program!
A program in partnership with our local Uxbridge Food Bank. We offer a discounted CSA@ $350 regular share with no delivery fee. The food bank then selects a family they feel might benefit best from the CSA program. Your donation dollars go to help pay for the discounted CSA Share @$350 delivered, for the family receiving the share. Any donation amount is welcome. We will also fund a CSA share for a family even if all the $350 to fully pay for the share has not been collected yet.
