Sample Box Contents

What do I get in a Bluff Box?
 
A fantastic selection of fresh-picked, organically grown vegetables from Metchosin's Sea Bluff Farm and other local organic growers.

• NEW! Mini Box ($15/week): Inspired by Josh Volk's mini CSA, this will be an individualized share (perfect for singles), consisting of 3–4 basic items (salad, a root vegetable/s, fruit (cherry tomatoes/strawberries)—just some simple things. The Mini box contents should easily fit into 1 small-sized grocery bag.
• Small box ($25/week): With this box, you can expect 7–8 different types of produce each week—the contents will vary by the month and by the week (see below). This size is best for single people who eat a lot of vegetables, cost-conscious people, and families that don't eat a lot of veggies. The Small box contents should fit comfortably into 1-2 normal-sized grocery bags.
• Large box ($40/week): Also known as the "family" box, this box contains 8–9 different types of produce and larger quantities of some items—the contents will vary by the month and by the week (see below). It's best for vegetable-loving couples, families, and folks sharing a box. The Large box contents should fit into 2-3 normal-sized grocery bags.

If you don't like surprises, don't worry: we'll be e-mailing you in advance of your pick-up with a list of that week's box likely contents.

But I don't like celeriac/beets/carrots/etc? Can I make substitutions to the box contents?
Sorry, but substitutions are not possible in Bluff Boxes. That makes things complicated (and more costly). But we are open to on-the-spot trading. And we have Recipes to share that will turn all you "haters" into lovers.
