CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.
By joining TOPSOIL’s Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program you become part of our farm family and own a "share" of our 2023 harvest.
CSA members support the farm by paying a lump sum at the beginning of the season, and in return, members secure a weekly box of freshly harvested and locally curated produce!
A TOPSOIL CSA membership is a fantastic opportunity engage and connect with local food production. Bring your kids, friends or family down with you to see a productive urban farm while you pick up your delicious freshly harvested and locally curated veggie box!

Debating the purchase of a CSA membership but don't know if you can get through all the veg in one week?
Consider splitting your veggie box with a friend, family member or neighbor, or invest in a weekly box for your office or workplace!
What better way to connect with others than sharing nourishing food?
By purchasing your CSA membership, you are not just buying fresh local produce, you are becoming part of our farm family and our mission of creating a more sustainable local food system which grows food that is healthier for us, cares for the environment, and just simply tastes better.
For us, that’s what a CSA membership is all about!

AgriKit - Modular farming solutions
We are thrilled to officially launch AgriKit!
AgriKit provides modular farming solutions to help you create new modular farms or upscale your existing farm.
That might be transforming an unused development block or brownfield into a productive urban agricultural space or taking your existing farm operation to the next level.
AgriKit provides the infrastructure, knowledge, and support you need to build and operate productive farms so you can grow fresh local produce for your community.
Maybe you’re a local municipality or developer that’s keen to transform a vacant, unused piece of land into a thriving urban farm or community garden, or perhaps you are an educational institution looking to add a beautiful farm space to increase educational programming opportunities for youth.
You might be a charity or not-for-profit organization wanting to implement a productive farm to generate income and support your community initiatives, or a remote community seeking to increase food security and become less dependent on fragile distribution systems.
Whoever you are and whatever you want to achieve, we can help.
Visit our website at www.agrikit.ca and reach out with any questions.
WE ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE OUR
2023 CSA VEGGIE BOX PROGRAM!!

You become part of our innovative approach to food production – one that values environmental sustainability and the local economy.
Because a CSA membership creates a direct link from us to you, we can bypass the long and complex industrial food supply chain. This means: No dirty supply chain, No tasteless produce sitting in a warehouse sprayed with chemicals and preservatives, minimising wasteful packaging and reducing C02 emissions associated with food transportation.
Urban agriculture is an innovative way for all of us to be part of a better food system. One which grows food that is healthier for us, cares for the environment, and just simply tastes better.
For us, that’s what a CSA membership is all about!
