Membership & Terms of Use

Membership

By becoming a Member of the Farmship Community Supported Agriculture program you are agreeing to support our growing endeavor and we are very grateful to our community. The funds raised with the sales of CSA shares for the season are directly invested into growing the food that will be provided to you during the season. We guarantee the quality of our produce to be grown following organic methods and to be the freshest it can be.

Upon signing up you will receive a weekly Food box by home delivery or from a location pick-up downtown Nanaimo ( 46 Robarts Street, Nanaimo) or at the main farm in Yellow Point.  Our program runs 8 months! Emails with details of seasonal box changes and options will be sent in advance.

• You can make changes to the type of Box you receive or special circumstances by contacting us at admin@farmship.ca
• You can make changes to your delivery instructions by contacting admin@farmship.ca

We will follow your delivery instructions, so please be specific. We guarantee the quality & freshness of the items delivered in your box. Once we drop off your box, we pass that responsibility on to you. Please include instructions that will ensure the items in your box do not warm up and wilt (or freeze!) outside before you get home!

Our Commitment to Quality, Sustainability & Transparency

Farmship guarantees the quality & freshness of every item we deliver to you!

• If you ever have a concern about the quality or freshness of an item in your Box, please send us an email! Likewise, if you ever find an item missing from your Box.  We work hard to make sure that this doesn’t happen, but we’re only human. We will refund the item, replace it if we can, or send an extra goodie in your next Box.  The earlier you let us know, the faster we can find a solution to the problem!

We guarantee that everything we offer in our Boxes and on our online Store is grown with love, sustainably and ethically from local sustainable growers and producers! 90% of the produce is grown right here in Yellow Point, just north of Ladysmith.

Re-Useable Totes

A change in how our program is offered that might make it more accessible? Please let us know what you think.  If something’s not working for you, we want to know. We want to make local organic food work for you! Let us know how we can improve our service. admin@farmship.ca
