Details Organic Baskets

Basket size and frequency

Tourne-Sol farm offers one size of basket. Our basket typically contains about 10 different certified organic vegetables that are freshly harvested and in season.  You can choose to pick it up every week or every 2 weeks (bi-weekly).

The weekly basket starts at the end of May and runs for 22 weeks until the third week of October.

With the bi-weekly basket you will get 11 deliveries, and although they are initially laid out on a bi-weekly schedule, you can use your online calendar to move your baskets however you like.

Basket contents

We aim to provide lots of well-loved vegetables (carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers) as well as some unusual crops (kohlrabi, green garlic, celeriac, etc).

Typically, vegetables are not pre-boxed.  Members make up their own basket by following a blackboard list with the basket contents, and making their choices.

We also provide an exchange box where you can trade unwanted items.

And please bring your own bags or boxes! We use very little packaging, our vegetable basket is a great way to reduce packaging and waste!

Here are examples of what the baskets might look like at different times during the season.

The pleasure of choosing!

We offer lots of choices in the basket. Members typically get 2 to 4 choice items in the basket. At the end of the season, our members really like our bulk root choices in which members get to fill up a large basket with their own selection of a wide variety of root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, beets, turnips, celeriac, etc.)
