52 Week Veggie Share More Details
Each week we will provide you with a share of the vegetables that are ripe and ready to eat from the farm. We offer a wide range of veggies. A list of what you can expect during the year can be found in the CSA section of the web page.
We appreciate payments in full, in 4 equal payments or monthly by post dated cheques if you can.
We strive to provide you with as much certified organic produce as possible. You do also get transition to organic, spray free and non organic veggies on occasion. Josh and Patricia are increasing the number of acres they have in certified organic production each year, growing more and more spray free and working hard to build the soils ability to grow wonderful vegetables for your family.
You can review the contents of our shares from the past years by checking out the newsletter section of the website.
For members who join for 52 weeks, the average price per share is $22 per week. This means that sometimes in the winter the value may be a bit less and in the summer a bit higher, balancing out over all. We very much appreciate the 52 commitment to keeping our farm in full year production and keeping our staff in full year employment.
There are three size option – an entree size that we feel can accommodate a veggie eating household of 1-4 people for $22 per week and an appetizer size of $13.00 per week. This year, we are also offering a Staples Only share (to see more on the Staples Only share, check out the "Staple Share")

Meat Share More Details
This is our second year of offering the meat share. This year we will provide you with bi weekly deliveries of meat. The animals on the farm provide us with the nutrients to grow healthy plants. We are also able to use the pigs to cultivate the fields for us – something that we will be branching into more seriously this 2012 season.
We are increasing the number of animals on the farm, but it takes time. Also we do not see ourselves raising beef. For this reason your share will include meat products from: TapRoot Farms, WG Oulton (Martock Glen), Longspell Point Farm and on occasion other small local producers.
Meat products included in you meat share will vary each delivery but may include: beef, pork, chickens, fowl, duck, rabbit, goose, and turkey. The price per lb is based on the whole animal and we have the whole animal to share among the members. You will be given a share of the animals on a by weekly basis that will be equal or as close to equal as possible to your share value. This will include the not so fun parts like lots of hamburger. We do our best to share the variety of cuts with everyone evenly so you don't always end up with roasts vs t-bone's.
It is important to us that all of the animals have access to space, fresh air and are roaming on soil.
Entree Meat- $50 every two weeks
Appetizer Meat - $25 every two weeks
As an example, prices per lb for meat in 2011: beef $5.50-6.00/lb , pork $4.20/lb , chicken $4.16/lb, goose $6.00/lb, turkeys $3.60 lb, ducks $4.30/lb , bacon $5.50/lb, rabbit $6.30/lb. These prices are just an example of what prices were last season. The cost of grain is going up, up , up so they may be higher next season. For items that we purchase from other farmers we put a mark up of between 5 - 30% depending on the item and what that cost will end up being for the share members. We do our best to keep the price as affordable as possible because we are passionate about providing and supporting local meat. Therefore we absorb as much as we can.
Delivery: 26 semi-monthly deliveries, running April 2, 2012 to March 31, 2013
Fruit Share More Details
TapRoot and Noggins Corner Farm partner to bring you a year long fruit share. This share will consist of mostly non organic fruit. However we focus on spray free and do have apples in transition to organic, some certified organic raspberries, rhubarb and strawberries that will be included in the share.
TapRoot has been growing more and more fruit and Noggins has a long history of fruit production. It is also all in the family as Patricia from TapRoot is the daughter of Andrew from Noggins.
Together TapRoot and Noggins are able to offer various fruit including: peaches, pears, plums, sweet cherries, raspberries, and over 50 varieties of apples. We are also able to offer dried fruit, fruit juices, and fruit preserves.
You can expect apples year round.

Awesome Eggs More Details
Receive one or half dozen certified organic eggs every week. The hens at TapRoot spend time outside nearly all day. The hens are let out of their house first thing in the morning and closed up after dark. This ensures their safety from hungry nighttime prowlers. The eggs are gathered three times in the morning. The hens are fed certified organic grain that comes from Homestead Organics. Our hens are the Comet breed.
