How It Works

Welcome to the new era of local food shopping! 

This is what we offer: 

Fresh, organic vegetables and prepared food grown by us here at Orchard Hill, ordered and paid for online, picked up on the farm or select pick up locations.

We update the store on the Tuesday of the week and your order will be ready for pickup on Friday/Saturday, and orders close on Thursday evening.   

Minimum order is $10.

Where does your food come from?  

Orchard Hill Farm, a farm with clay and sandy loam soil, on Fruit Ridge Line, just south of St Thomas, close to Sparta, Ontario, Canada. 

Is it organic?  

We have been committed to organic practices since 1983. We were certified for a number of years and follow the organic certification guidelines but we are not currently certified. We grow our own nursery stock and make our own potting soil. We strive for a healthy ecosystem and resiliency in our soils. We use cover crops and rotations to help build the soil. 

How do I know what you'll have? 

We send out a newsletter each week, featuring what new things we have this week, and sometimes a teaser of what's to come! Join the newsletter to make sure that you get this reminder each week. 

How do I order? 

The webstore will be updated with the week's available produce on Tuesdays, and all orders have to be in by Thursday at 7pm. Add items to your cart, pay with credit, ETF or PayPal, and select your pick up time & place. 

FAQ

Why won't it let me change the amount I want to buy? Once you change the quantity, you have to click the update button -  it's a little hidden in the corner of the page. 

Why are you sold out of everything? The store is updated on Tuesdays the week of a 'pop up', and then 'closed' on Thursday. Often times the way we do that is to reduce all the quantities to 0. There will be more! Sign up for the email list if you want to make sure not to miss one. 

Why is there so much shipping as part of the checkout process? We don't ship!! But we use a shipping app to schedule the pick up locations and times, and so you'll get a hint of that.
