Thinking Outside the Box: Currie’s CSA Program

Currie’s Farm Market decided to take a fresh new approach to the traditional CSA Program in 2014, and we haven’t looked back. We wanted to offer a flexible, no risk program designed for customers who wanted to support local food and farms, while offering a share system that would allow them to purchase whatever they wanted, whenever they want during our farm market season (no weekly baskets or unwanted ingredients!), while receiving a return on their investment to show our appreciation.

Share Card Accounts are now available for the 2025 season, until midnight on May 11th. Prior to opening day, we will set you up with a Share Card Account, with your account balance safely stored on our Point of Sale system. All you have to do is come on in, pick your favourites and simply provide the account number you have chosen to access your account, each time you check out. After each purchase you will receive your remaining account balance. There are absolutely no restrictions on what and when you can purchase throughout the season*, as every single one of your purchases supports local food and a local farm.

*Share Card Account balances must be used in full by 6:00 p.m. on December 23rd, 2025.

Meat at the Market this Season!

We’re all about keeping things fresh at Currie’s Farm Market, whether it comes to fresh food or fresh ideas. When we expanded the store during Covid, it was partly in response to customers asking for a safe, one stop shopping experience with a focus on food from trusted suppliers. To do that, we not only needed to expand our space but also expand our offerings.
Luckily, Alison Lobb joined the Currie’s Farm Market team and brought with her the specific skillset and creativity we were previously lacking. With experience as a butcher at local butcher shops (and the owner of Graze to Block Butchery), Alison has singlehandedly built our meat department from the ground up. With a keen taste for the best cuts and the talent to make all meats deliver the most exceptional flavour experience with her fresh marinades (all made in house), our customers are treated to an exceptional experience each time they select an item from the meat fridge.
With summer BBQ season around the corner, we will be offering new items each and every week, along with the option for pre-orders for specialty cuts and boxes. Options include:

• Burger Boxes (we make Smashed Smash Burgers, Moroccan Turkey Burgers, Chicken Scallion Burgers and Prime Burgers in house with the finest quality meats)

• Ready to Smoke meats, including brisket, blade, pork butt and more

• Marinated Meat Boxes with a selection of marinades made in house

• Lamb Chops or Rack of Lamb - frenched, tied, marinated and ready to grill

• Steaks cut to order

Please stop by or give us a shout with any special requests, orders or just to get some ideas for your next backyard bbq.

The Reason for The Season: Keeping it Local

People often ask us why we choose to close down over the winter months. With our new expanded space, commercial kitchen and a heated building (for the first time since 1957), wouldn’t it make sense to be open year round? We have considered it. But when we took over the family business 12 years ago, we made it our mission to remain true to the family farm and how we, as well as other local farms and food producers, could benefit our community. We believed that staying true to our mission would always guarantee the best tasting & most nutritious food, while supporting our environment and the local economy. Here are some reasons why:

Local food, especially produce, is extremely fresh and always tastes better than nonlocal items.

Fruits and veggies harvested daily at the peak of ripeness can stay on the vine to ripen longer, making them sweeter, juicier, and tastier.

Since locally grown produce usually doesn’t have to travel very far or sit in storage for long, it retains more nutrients.

Supporting local farmers helps maintain green spaces and farmland in your area. Local farms that use sustainable practices boost biodiversity, protect pollinators, and promote clean air, water, and soil

When you buy local food, your money is likely to continue to circulate within the local economy and contribute to increased employment and income.

Currie’s Own

We’re sticklers for quality. So when a stalk of asparagus is a little too crooked, or a zucchini gets bruised on the way in from the field, it doesn’t quite make the cut. Instead of spending our evenings freezing asparagus and baking zucchini loaf, we decided to create a line of Currie’s Own preserves. And what we don’t grow ourselves, we source locally for you.
