Next Bin Pickup »
Off Season
From Nov to May
Previous pick ups have taken place outside: Le Marché St. George 4393 St. George at the corner of 28th., Vancouver BC.
Our focus is on heirloom and open-pollinated varieties and local seed sources. We never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides in our
growing practices. Our goal is to provide a diverse mix of seasonal vegetables from week-to-week, including many familiar vegetables and some less
familiar, specialty varieties.
Below is a library of the vegetables we grow. Some variation from this is guaranteed due to seed availability, growing conditions, farmer interest
and customer demand. Take a look:
