Vegetables grown in your neighbourhood

 

Jesse Payne side profileOur goal at VegetablePatch.ca is to inspire organic living right within the city center. We take under-used green spaces in Ottawa, Canada, and turn them into beautiful and healthy vegetable gardens. The resulting business is a wonderfully low impact means of producing and distributing sustainably grown market produce. We achieve this in two ways, through our land sharing projects and through our local basket delivery service. Get involved and together we shall infuse some much needed environmentally sustainable vitality directly into the city. What could possibly feel better?

This season we have set a goal to build a strong and dedicated army of urban farming volunteers! If you would like to get your hands dirty, love fresh air, and are interested in learning how to grow delicious food of your own, then we want you! Checkout our volunteer area to see how you can stay in the loop.

Here a few ways in which you can get involved with VegetablePatch:

 

  1. Buy a weekly vegetable share through our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project
  2. Share your yard space and allow us to turn it into an urban farm plot
  3. Volunteer with us!


Cheers,

The VegetablePatch team.

 

Organic Pedal Powered Office Vegetable Deliveries

Hello there office people,

Wouldn't it be grand if you didn't have to take extra time out of your
busy day to go to the market and buy your veggies? Wouldn't it be even
grander if vegetables just came to you while you are at work ... and
they were organically grown .. and ... and .. they were picked that morning, uber local ..
oh, and delivered on a bicycle by cheery sun kissed urban farmers?

Sounds a little far fetched for Ottawa doesn't it? Well that is exactly
what we are offering, a mobile market. VegetablePatch.ca is looking for a few offices in
which to sell our extra produce on a regular basis.

Here is what we are looking for in terms of potential offices:

  1. Your office should be in the downtown Ottawa, Centertown or Hintonburg areas.
  2. At least ten people in your office are interested in buying veggies from us on a regular basis.
  3. Each time we visit, it will be first come first serve until we run out of veggies. We will accept cash only for the veggies each individual would opt to buy.
  4. We would most likely deliver on Wednesdays or Thursdays.


So talk to your fellow employees and fill out this form ASAP if you and
the office fam are interested. We would like to start our mobile market
deliveries by the end of July or sooner.

Veggies we would potentially bring as part of our mobile market:

  • mixed bags of micro salad greens
  • green and yellow beans
  • tomatoes
  • potatoes
  • mustard greens
  • arugula
  • zucchinis
  • cucumbers
  • radish bunches
  • fall peas
  • kale
  • beets
  • swiss chard
  • lots of other specialty greens

Please enter your name so we know who is contacting us on behalf of your office.

Please enter and email address which we can use to respond to your Office delivery inquiry.

You can optionally provide us with a phone number where we can reach you for further discussion of office deliveries.

Please enter the name of the company or office where we would be delivering the vegetables.

Please enter roughly the number of people who work at your office.
