What this site covers
HarvestCrate publishes information about CSA subscriptions in Canada. The content is organized around three areas: how the CSA model works, what to expect from seasonal boxes in different parts of the country, and how to locate farms offering shares in specific provinces.
The site does not sell subscriptions, represent specific farms, or receive compensation from any agricultural provider. It exists as a reference for people exploring the CSA model for the first time or looking for context on how farm shares operate.
How content is maintained
Articles are written and reviewed based on publicly available information from Canadian government agricultural resources, farm websites, and provincial food network publications. Seasonal produce timelines reference standard growing calendars used across Canadian agricultural extension programs.
Content is updated periodically. Each article carries an update date at the bottom. If you notice information that appears outdated or inaccurate, you can reach out through the contact form on the homepage.
