At this point in time, we are unable to offer completely customized CSA boxes. Currently, boxes are seasonal and vary each week. We do our best to offer a variety of produce that is suitable for weekly meals. The program is able to accommodate medical allergies if notified in advance. If you are interested in picking out your own selection each week, check out our Market Card CSA program!

    We offer delivery into Castlegar (Saturday Markets) and Nelson (Saturday Markets) and pick up for Slocan Valley residents from the Farm Stand (Sundays). Please be aware of the pickup location’s set time as we are unable to wait around for late pickups.

If you would like to change your pick up location, please contact us via email by the Wednesday evening before the scheduled pickup weekend. This will give our staff enough time to accommodate moving your order to another pickup location.

Linden Lane Farms’ provides members with a Green CSA Tote. These Totes are labelled and numbered specifically for each CSA member. Please remember to bring a reusable bag or box to transfer your box’s contents into to take home. If you forget, we often have extra paper bags available at market pickups.

*We no longer allow CSA customers to take their Totes home on rotation as it reduces wear on the Totes and bins stay cleaner to reduce sanitizing/cleaning time.

Signing up has never been easier! Since switching to online registration, CSA members can save time by creating customer profiles to purchase their CSA membership each year.

Please follow the instructions on the CSA Product page and during checkout. We will email you with a confirmation of your membership after payment has been received.

Full Payment must be received before Feb 28th at 11:59pm PST for discounts to apply. Full payments after this date will be subject to program availability and do not receive the discount. We now offer an Installment Payment Plan: three partial payments due on February 28th, March 31st and April 30th, for the total cost of membership! We currently accept Cash, Cheque, Email Money Transfer and Credit Card.

CASH:  All cash payments must be done in person.
CHEQUES:  Cheques must be signed to “Linden Lane Farms” and can be mailed to 3850 Krestova Road, Krestova, BC  V0G1H1. Please let us know if you are mailing in your payment.
EMT:  Email money transfers must be made to “sales@lindenlanefarms.ca”. We are setup for autodeposit so no password is required. 
CREDIT CARD: We are able to securely process all major credit cards. All CSA credit card purchases will be subject to a service charge (Smalls $10 and Larges $20) to balance additional cost with offering the credit card service. We will only accept credit card information from the website and by phone.

Our CSA model was set up to help provide the farm with funds to purchase supplies and seeds early in the season. Although we appreciate the enthusiasm to work on the farm, we require the financial assistance to get the farm started off in the spring. We are unable to give out credit for volunteering towards your CSA membership.

Our goal is to have the first box available the 1st or 2nd week of June, however this is dependent on the weather and other factors influencing the farm. We will contact all our members well in advance to confirm the first pickup date?

The CSA program runs for 18 weeks and ends on Thanksgiving weekend!

We currently are unable to accommodate for home deliveries. We are looking into this feature for future seasons if interest continues!

Boxes that are not picked up will be held until Tuesdays. On Wednesdays, the box contents will be  donated to a local food charity. Please contact us as soon as possible if you are unable to make it due to an emergency. If you are planning a summer vacation and will be missing a pickup or multiple pickups, we ask you to make arrangements with friends or family to pick up your box or donate it to charity. No value will be refunded for missed pick up with the exception of emergencies. Please let us know your plans as soon as possible!

In the CSA model, members are seen as active farm partners, sharing the risks and rewards of the harvest. Should you choose to cancel your subscription, we cannot offer a refund for shares already paid for once the season has started in May. The CSA partnership sustains our farm, individual members, and the community at large. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding our refund policy.

This is a top priority! We are still focusing on vegetable production. At this point, we do not have enough hens to produce eggs for all of our members. We are working on developing a system to incorporate our grandparents livestock production. If we do have extra eggs, you will be able to add them to your box by responding to the weekly emails. We also accept clean, used plastic and pulp egg cartons at any pickup.

To keep certain products at top quality, we use plastic bags. Over the course of the season, members might find themselves with a lot of empty bags. We are unable to reuse these bags due to food safety regulations. We are encouraging members this year to purchase reusable plastic containers (Tupperware) for items such as baby salad greens, broccoli florets, beans, and cherry tomatoes. These containers must be labelled with the member’s name, kept clean and sanitary by members, and placed clean into empty totes upon return (this lets us fill them up for the next week’s box). Long English Cucumbers and some other products will always be wrapped for quality.

We adhere to the Canada GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) regulations for food safety and do our best to ensure your products are clean, safe and healthy.

With the recent developments we are building plans to ensure your safety. Our CSA boxes are enclosed with a lid and all of the products are grown, harvested and packaged on our farm. We have strict rule for our customers, employees and our family’s health that we follow when packaging your CSA boxes.
