Do you still have shares for sale?
Yes, we do. As soon as we have sold out of shares we will update this page and the ordering pages. At that time we will let you know how to get on our announcement list so you won't miss out again.
When does the harvest start?
We are very much at the mercy of the weather, but our plan is to begin spring/summer harvesting on May 22nd and fall harvesting on October 9th.
How many weeks does the season last?
Again, the weather makes this determination as much as we do, but we aim for a 20 week spring/summer season and an 8 week fall season.
Do you really deliver to my home?
Yes, we really do. We actually prefer this to waiting around in empty parking lots for people to come and pick up their shares.
What time do you deliver?
Deliveries are made during the evening hours on Tuesdays and Fridays. In general if you live to the West of Georgia Ave NW we will deliver to you on Tuesdays and if you live to the East of Georgia Ave NW we will deliver to you on Fridays.
Can I change my delivery day?
Sorry, no. Delivery days are determined by where you live and cannot be changed unless you move to a different delivery area.
Do I have to be home for the delivery?
Not really, just let us know where you would like us to place your share (we recommend the shadiest spot you have) and leave the empty basket from the prior week out for us to collect.
What vegetables will I get in my share?
This varies as the season progresses but we usually begin with lettuce, radishes, green onions, kohlrabi, swiss chard and cabbage. Later on there should be carrots, beets, peas, beans, cucumbers and zucchini. Around July we get tomatoes, peppers (sweet and hot), eggplant and okra added to the mix. Full planting lists for each season can be found on the page for that specific season.
How will I know what all of the vegetables are?
Each week with your vegetables we include a newsletter that lists what is in the shares for that week. We also offer preparation tips, recipes and descriptions of the less well recognised vegetables. Sometimes it helps to google each item on the list if you still aren't sure, or you can email us.
What if I don't like a particular vegetable?
I'm sure someone dislikes at least one vegetable we grow, but unfortunately it is not possible to pack custom baskets. Sometimes you might find that although you do not like the vegetable cooked it is delicious raw or vice versa. If you absolutely cannot stand the vegetable at all, consider gifting it to your neighbours - most people do not eat enough vegetables!
What if I am going to be away for a week?
Your share will be divided equally among the other subscribers for that day. We cannot hold your share, give you extra the following week or deliver it the next day.
How many people do you employ?
We have no employees. All the work at Karl's Farm is done by myself (Paula) and Karl with help from our three sons.
Why do you hide your email address?
Our email address is on our newsletters and business cards, but due to the huge amount of spam we were receiving we have decided to try to make life a little harder for the robots to send us email. Because we are such a small farm, I try to spend as little time in the office as possible (so I can spend more time in the field growing vegetables). If this method does not save me time, I will gladly switch back to tweaking spam filters.
