WELCOME TO 2026 SEASON: FRESH WAYS TO BUY
​Important Season Update
First and foremost, thank you! For the past five years, our CSA program has been an integral part of Kootenay Corner Gardens, and we are incredibly grateful for the loyalty and support you showed us.
As we plan for the long-term health and efficiency of the farm, we have made the strategic decision to step away from the weekly CSA Box program for the 2026 season. Our shift allows us to focus our efforts entirely on cultivation, market presence, and growing high quality produce for a sustainable future!​
​
Introducing the Kootenay Corner Market Card
This pre-loaded Market Card is our flexible alternative to the CSA. It allows you to commit to supporting the farm and receive a 10% bonus credit on your favorite produce, usable at both our Farm Stand and the Nelson Farmers' Market. It's the best way to choose exactly what you want, when you want it.
