Community Supported Agriculture - a subscription program for your belly :)
Summer CSA 2025
** We will open registration for our Summer 2025 in mid February. Check back then!
Ah, summer time: tomatoes on toast, baby potatoes, sunflowers and salad for days… All this and more, from local farmers, delivered weekly to your neighbourhood. Welcome to Sweet Earth Farms’ Summer CSA.
We are so proud to partner with some fine farmers and bakers to bring you a box of the freshest food every week through the heart of summer.
As always, good food for good people, grown in good dirt :)
The food
We’re planting a wide mix of summer produce, and if all goes according to plan we’ll be harvesting it too, haha. We’ll be growing heirloom tomatoes, butter lettuce, lemon cucumbers, broccolini, bulb fennel, hakurei turnips, genovese basil, baby carrots, sweet peppers, german butter potatoes, and golden beets, just to name a few. Aphids and rabbits willing, there will be many, many more. Farmin’ :)
Our weekly deliveries will come in two formats: the Just Veggies box, and the Full Share option. Both include 8-10 varieties of fresh vegetables, a half pound or so of mushrooms bi-weekly and any seasonal add ons we include. The Full Share also includes a dozen free-range eggs from our hens, plus a loaf of organic sourdough and a wedge of cheese from our partners at Magpie’s Bakery and Creekside Creamery. Both the Just Veggies and the Full Share option can include a weekly water buffalo farmers sausage add on for the season as well. These farmers sausages are raised by our friends at Revenant Acres.
Some of our farmer friends will be making guest appearances throughout the season; providing a variety of goods such as oats, kiwis, blueberries and hazelnuts. Our goal is to provide most of the fresh food your family needs every week.
The details
We will be delivering boxes to community pick-up points and homes on Thursdays from mid June to mid September: 14 weeks of fresh, healthy, local food for you! Please be sure to check out our Fall + Winter CSA if you would like to continue the harvest boxes into December.

Delivery Options
Community Pick up: Gather your box at a community pick-up point near you for no charge.
Community pick-up points will be shared with those in that specific community once you’ve registered. If we do not yet have one in your area, let’s connect and see if we may be able to find one.
We currently have multiple pick-up locations in the following communities: Downtown Chilliwack, Sardis, Downtown Abbotsford, Langley, SFU Burnaby, East Van, Kitsilano and North Van.
Our partners
We are so happy to partner with the following farmers, ranchers, cheese makers and bakers to complete this project:
Magpie’s Bakery - Baker Nick is on board to supply the tastiest organic multigrain sourdough. Magpie’s is located in downtown Chilliwack.
Creekside Cheese and Creamery - A certified organic, family creamery, east of Agassiz with the sweetest cows, people and some darn good cheese. Creekside offers farm tours, incredible milk on tap, a wide variety of cheese, beef and eggs, all at their farm store in Agassiz.
Cedar Isle Farm - Cedar Isle is a certified organic, idyllic farm in Agassiz (right along the way to Creekside if you’re out for a drive!) We are so thankful to be leasing land to grow our potato crop from this sweet family! Hannah, of Cedar Isle is growing all of the alliums for our CSA this year, as well as an additional offering per week. We will also, hopefully, be including oats or other grains from Cedar Isle later in the year. Oh and one more thing - we will be including some of Cedar Isle’s certified organic eggs!
Reverent Acres - Located just outside of Salmon Arm, our friends Matt and Kim are raising beautiful water buffalo and sheep on their ranch. Their animals are grass fed, free range, humanely raised and totally free of hormones or antibiotics. We’re so happy to offer their water buffalo farmers sausages!
Myca Farms - Some of the finest mushroom farmers we’ve met. These folks are growing high quality oysters, lions mane, chestnut and more. We love the density and flavour on these mushrooms!
Little River Eggs - When our hens are feeling fussy about it being too hot/cold/wet/windy/sunny/snowy/etc. we turn to the farming family at Little River Eggs to supplement our supply. They feed all organic feed and support healthy, happy hens.
Local Harvest - Fraser Valley farming legends. We are so thankful to be able to include veggies from Local Harvest. Their veggies are grown in healthy, thriving valley soil, with exceptional flavour. Local Harvest will be supplying our weekly greens, as well as handful of other fun additions. We’re looking forward to their ginger and melons again!
And there will always be more along the way :)
A few details
Please check our FAQ page for some hopefully, helpful answers!
We’re a small-scale project farm: two farmers, two kids, a half dozen or so acres and a great community. We live in the mountains behind Chilliwack, on a second generation farm. We raise chickens, grow veggies, fix things… so many things…
Since we live in the mountains, we also farm a bit of valley land. We are grateful to be farming at Cedar Isle Farm in Agassiz and on our aunt and uncle’s property in Aldergrove. Plenty of good dirt for all of our veggie dreams.
We aren’t offering half shares or modifications this season, but we do encourage sharing with friends or finding a neighbour who may be interested in splitting a CSA share with you if it may be too much for your kitchen alone.
If you have any severe allergies to any of our products, this may not be the right CSA for you, as we can’t promise the bread won’t touch the veggie bags and so on. Please send us a note if you’d like to chat more.
All produce grown in Agassiz at Cedar Isle Farm will be certified organic under BCARA. Produce grown at our home farm will be what we like to call “sensibly grown” - free of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and with a focus on soil health and flavourful food.
We send weekly emails throughout the season, sharing what to look forward to in your box, recipe ideas and updates on farm life. These emails always include an info sheet, highlighting a particular veggie of the week, from our friend and nutritionist, Hayley Samuell.
Harvest fluctuates throughout the season, so you may receive slightly less produce in your box near the beginning of the season, and slightly more towards the middle and end of the season.
Please fill in the form below with your questions or registration information! (And check your junk box for the reply, just in case!)
Registration will open for Summer CSA in February 2025. Talk to you then!
A little love from our friends:
“I've signed up for quite a few CSA boxes in my life and none come close to the ones we received from Sweet Earth Farms last fall. Honestly, the quality, quantity and variety of produce and goodies that we received last year was like nothing I have ever seen. Imagine going to a farmer's market, filling a box with the very best produce and unique items you can find. (ie. local honey, oyster mushrooms, ancient grains, local cheeses, etc...). This was the experience we had, week after week. Months later we are still working through the abundance of winter squash and ancient grain products that we received. And the little touches like beautiful floral bouquets and photos from her beautiful farm, the whole experience felt like pure love. This box is hands down the best thing we have ever done to feed our family, and we are so grateful and honoured to have the privilege to reap the delicious bounty of these incredible farmers!!” - Benny.
A community supported agriculture project serving the communities of Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langely, Surrey, North Van, East Vancouver, Kitsilano, and all in between. Fresh, local farm food for your family.
