Good food is for everyone
WHO WE ARE
Allium Farm
Allium Farm is a community farm project in beautiful Quw’utsun territory growing veggies and flowers for sale/trade/gift via weekly (ish) emails.
We believe good food should be available to everyone regardless of income, so we offer sliding scale, encourage trades and welcome folks with more financial resources to pay more so we can gift food to our neighbours.
WHAT WE DO
The Weekly(ish) Fresh Sheet
We send an email on Friday evenings (with occasional weeks off) during our growing season with our available produce and three price tiers for each vegetable – the accessible price, the actual-cost price and the wealth-redistribution price.
Choose which suits your circumstances best in a given week. Everyone gets the same amount of the same top-notch veggies regardless of the price tier you choose.

Reply to the email by Sunday night telling us which items you’d like and what price tier you’ll pay or what you’ll trade.

Orders are harvested on Mondays and put in our fridge. Pick up at Allium Farm whenever is convenient for you.

WHY WE DO IT
Why gift & trade?
Because wealth redistribution makes a difference, gifting hits different and money isn’t the only thing with value.
We’re also settlers here on Quw’utsun territory, and it’s part of our responsibility to care for the land and share what it provides.
Trading and gifting shift something small but noticeable.
