Vegetable boxes

Jardins Bergeron Gardens is launching a subscription to a freshly harvested vegetable box. Our vegetables are grown by two brothers, Denis & Gilles Bergeron, in the Navan/Orléans area.  We use conventional growing methods, to ensure economic, social and environmental sustainability. Our practices include crop rotation, tunnel growing and manual weeding which reduces the use of synthetic components.  We are committed to providing a safe and healthy supply of fresh vegetables every week.  

The harvest subscription runs for 15 weeks, from July 13th to October 22nd, 2021. During this time, there is a weekly pickup of a fresh vegetable box at our farm, in Orléans. 

Pickup is contactless and can be on either: 

• Tuesdays between 2pm and 6pm or
• Fridays between 10am and 2pm 

We recommend that you bring your own bags and/or boxes, to reduce the use of plastic  If, you are unable to come that day, a friend or family member can pickup your box. Exceptions for vacations can also be requested by e-mail, at least one week in advance at bergeron.gardens@gmail.com. See details in Terms & Conditions.

The boxes are $28.00 each week for a total of $420.00 for the 15 weeks. Each week your box will contain the equivalent of $30.00 worth of assorted vegetables. 

**Limited quantities of boxes are available this year.**

Deadline to sign-up: August 31st, 2021 (cost will be pro-rated for the number of weeks).

Payments can be made in full, by e-transfer to Bergeron.gardens@gmail.comor by debit or credit at the farm. Three equal installment payments can also be made on July 13th, August 10th and September 7th.
