It is time to sign up our members for this years CSA program! We're really excited about this years CSA, we are trying new veggies and have expanded from a handful of shares to 20 shares for 2008.
We have distributed a few brochures here and there, but it made sense to just put the brochure up on our website for people to access. If you are interested in becoming a member for this year, the time has come! Check it out here http://borealedgefarm.googlepages.com/csa

About Me
- Matt and April
- This is a record of our journey through life on our farm, and will hopefully serve as a reminder and guide for future reference. Our farm is located on the eaves of the Boreal forest, in the Whitefish River Valley, Ontario. Technically we live in the St. Lawrence forest, which has more broad leaved trees than the Boreal and , in this part of the province at least, exists in a little patch around the Lakehead. Unlike the Boreal's ultra thin soil, glaciation left an abundance of deep clay and loam in our valley, which was once dotted with small dairy farms. Those farms disappeared with the pasteurization laws of 1929 and the small fields disappeared with the horse in the 1950's. Although grown in and long neglected when we arrived 8 years ago, our farm is slowly returning to agricultural purposes. We are listed as a Zone 3 according to the USDA climate map, although our southern slope and relatively high altitude help mitigate that a bit.
