Green Croft Gardens
Green Croft Gardens is a organic farm certified since 1988, located on 35 fertile acres in three parcels bordering the Shuswap River. Back then "organic" and the public's awareness of "local" and environmental issues were far from what it is today. This led us to diversify into livestock, bedding plants, spelt, cut flowers, small fruits and vegetables. By trial and error we reduced our main activities to growing vegetables and small fruits.

CSA
This is a subscription style model of buying fresh seasonal produce while making a direct connection with the farm that grows it.
It also reduces waste, as all produce is delivered in a food-grade box rather than being individually packaged. Buy CSA's online here, or if you prefer, by mailing a cheque and your CSA choice to
Green Croft Gardens
Box 248 Grindrod,
BC, V0E 1Y0
Or drop off the cheque to the Farm at
42 Meadowview Road, Grindrod or at our farmers market stand.
