Find out more about how food producers can support Slow Food by trading for a reduced membership

In Metchosin, farmers have teamed up to sell their products directly to consumers through a Community Supported Agriculture model. The box features vegetables from Wind Whipped Farm, meat from Parry Bay Sheep Farm & Stillmeadow Farm and eggs from Winter Creek Farm and SRS Farm. Membership is purchased ahead of time for the season, and consumers can pick up their produce weekly at one of three locations around the city.
