Harvest Box Program
2025 Harvest Box sign ups now welcome! Read on for all the details.
Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Harvest Box Program is a prepaid credit-based subscription program for local farm produce. CSA Harvest Box members sign up in the spring and pay in advance for a share of the farm’s produce for the season.
As a member of our CSA program, you’ll purchase a Harvest Box Share in an amount that works for you, and that credit will then be loaded onto your account, and can be used on our member’s-only online store anytime you want during the 16+ week Harvest Season. All produce is grown locally by Rootdown Organic Farm in Pemberton Meadows! You’ll know where your food comes from, and take in the best of seasonal eating!
CSA members have the option to order once a week, and pick up their produce on Tuesday afternoons/evenings in either Whistler or Pemberton.
Read on for more details including sign up information.
Key Features
Below are some key features of our Harvest Box program that we know you’ll love:
Choice and flexibility - you choose what in-season produce you want, and when - no pressure to order on weeks you don’t need anything or are away. Your only comittment is to use up the credit you have purchased upon signing up by the end of the Harvest Season.
Good value for your dollar - we’re committed to keeping our members well fed, and once they are set, our prices won’t increase throughout the season. Our veggie’s are often a very good value for weight if compared to grocery store organic produce.
Certified organic - certified through PACS, which means high quality produce grown with the health of you, the planet, and the future in mind.
Local, seasonal eating - it really does taste better this way!
Convenient pick up locations - serving both Pemberton and Whistler.
Experience and reliability - Rootdown was established in 2009, and has been feeding the local community through a Harvest Box program since the beginning!
“Your greens defy description. They are the best on the planet Earth. Seriously... thank you. We eat them every meal.”
You may ask - what exactly is Community Supported Agriculture?
Farmers benefit from financial support early in the season, while CSA members benefit by receiving a reliable, consistent weekly share of fresh, locally grown, seasonal vegetables.
How Rootdown’s Harvest Box works
For 2025, Rootdown Farm is offering a “credit based” Harvest Box program, meaning:
You sign up and choose a Harvest Box Share size and a pick up location. Your account then gets credited with the share size you pay for.
Once our Harvest Box Season begins (the main season runs for 16 weeks, from June 24th-October 7th, but early and late pick ups are likely), you will get weekly reminders to place an order, using your credit to pay each week.
If you don’t need any veggies, or are away that week, you can skip ordering that week. Simple.
On the week’s you do order, you pick up your veggies on Tuesday afternoons/evenings, and you get to enjoy the best of Rootdown’s organic and locally grown produce for your table.
A note on Pick Up Locations: You must choose one location for the entire season (either Pemberton or Whistler). More details in our Policies, or when you check out when purchasing your Harvest Box Share.
Please note, one key difference in 2025 from year’s past (for you Rootdown Harvest Box veterans!), is that if you don’t place an order, you will not recieve a pre-set box of any kind. All custom orders must be placed by you (No Traditional Boxes or Suggested Boxes).

What People Are Saying
“I love picking up my Rootdown Harvest Box every week from June to October. I cannot believe the taste, variety, size and quality of the vegetables they grow. They are magicians. And its always fun to chat with them on pickup day. They are warm, informative and hardworking farmers.”
— Pru M., Whistler CSA Member
“Can’t beat the value and quality of the Rootdown CSA! Delicious, fresh, amazing local veggies every week for the entire season! It has changed how we eat and made us happier and healthier! We love Rootdown!”
— Amanda, Whistler CSA Member
“A friend recommended Rootdown to me a few years ago and I have been a dedicated customer ever since. The quality cannot be found in a grocery store and I love that I've been introduced to new (to me) veggies as well (hello hakurei turnip!). I get excited every year when my weekly basket of veggies becomes available. Eating what is actually in season is so satisfying! I particularly LOVE being able to build my own basket of veggies, so that I don't end up wasting something that I'm not fond of or got too much of. I often end up buying more than the minimum I am required to buy because I can stock up on what suits me. I am fairly incapable of bringing home a full carton of cherry tomatoes, nor the fresh peas when they are in season. They pretty much get eaten on the 5 minute drive to home. Ariella, Simone and TJ are the nicest veggie purveyors I've ever met and I love my Tuesday afternoon pickup!”
— Mo H., Whistler CSA Member
“I started ordering Rootdown’s harvest box 9 years ago because it is important to me to support local, women-led businesses. I continue to order their harvest boxes because of the incredible quality and taste of the food we receive every week! The team is also wonderful to interact with each week.”
— Shannon W., Whistler CSA Member
“I am looking forward to another season of your fantastic organic and local products. We really like that we can order what we want each week and in the amount we need. Having the opportunity to bulk order at the end of the season is also great. Also, love the recipes that you send regularly.”
— Rury N., Whistler CSA Member
Volunteer
Our volunteer days are Wednesday mornings from 8:00 to 12:00. Shifts begin the last week of June and go until the first week of October.
Volunteers are asked to complete 14 shifts throughout the 16-week season. Tasks include transplanting, weeding and harvesting a variety of organic vegetables. It’s a great way to learn about small-scale organic farming, and meet some fun and interesting people.
And, you’ll receive $500 of complimentary credit for the 2025 season!
