POE Farm Boxes!

POE = Peas On Earth


Weekly boxes of local, organic, farm-fresh variety!

What's a POE Farm Box?

In each POE Farm Box, you will receive an assortment of the week’s freshest produce. Long gone are the days of having the same rotations of veggies each week! With each farm box, you and your family can try a variety of new veggies & recipes. Ultimately, the Peas on Earth Farm Box is an amazing way to enjoy fresh, local and organic veggies consistently throughout the summer. Additionally, this program gives you first access to a wide variety of limited-supply veggies = no need to fight the keen, early-morning market crowd!

 This year, there are two options to get your POE Farm Box! Firstly, we have single-week farm boxes that you can order & re-order whenever you choose! These individual farm boxes are great if you’ve never had a farm box and want to give it a try. The other option is to purchase a renewable four-weeks farm box subscription. This subscription decreases the cost per box and it also reduces the hassle of having to re-order the boxes each week! 

The first POE Farm Box will be available for pick-up on Thursday, July 15th. Pre-orders are necessary and can be done starting May 21st! Just head to our Shop page, select the option you would like (single-week/four-weeks), and eagerly wait for July 15th to arrive. We are excited to see you too! 

Whether you order a single-week POE Farm Boxes or the four-weeks subscription, you’ll be supporting our businesses as a local, sustainable and community-minded operation.  We love growing organic and your contributions help us to continue doing so!

What’s Inside?

In each POE Farm Box, we strive to provide a large variety of each week’s best veggies.  Therefore, you can expect each box’s assortment to vary, apart from a couple staple items.  While we cannot predict the exact veggies that will be in each week’s box, here is an approximate content breakdown, by category: 1-2 staples (eg. potatoes, carrots, beets), 1-2 greens (eg. lettuce, spinach), 1-2 herbs (eg. dill, mint), 2-4 “what’s hot” items.  “What’s hot” items refer to the produce that has been the most freshly harvested that week.  

We can also add additional items to your box, if you choose! Just head to the “Shop” page, make a note that you’ve also ordered a  box, and we will add it to your order!

“First, I just want to say you have done a fantastic job with the CSA Farm Box! I was so excited to pick-up my first box this past Saturday (of course I could not resist ordering a few extra goodies). I love the crate and so well made and everything was so well packaged and presented (I took photos to send to friends and even family in UK – think they were a little envious☺). … Well done to you and your team for providing such a great service to the community, I know it is very much appreciated not just by me!
