Where to Access our Pay-What-You-Can Vegetables

If you are able, we encourage you to Pay What You Can for veggies to help more people access them for free. HOW TO (pay-what-you-can): We will have payment instructions and accept cash in person at the farmers market and volunteering sessions. If you pick up food from a community fridge, you can etransfer what you can to csa@cultivaction.ca. Twenty percent of all payments for food will be donated directly to Indigenous land stewardship efforts.
