How Does It Work?
With our Farm Membership program you will receive credits for our online or in-person farm store along with a 10% discount on your purchase.
With your credits you can order what you want, when you want, in whatever quantities that you want and they never expire!
This is one of the easiest ways for you to support local food and local businesses with a discount.
Farm Members also play a vital role in our farm business. By paying for food upfront you allow us to buy calves to build up our herd and invest in new tools, more animals, equipment and infrastructure which greatly improves the overall financial stability of our farm.
Where do you deliver to?
We deliver up to 35km from our farm address, 7280 Dalmeny Rd, Osgoode.
