New Leaf Market Garden in Waterloo, Ontario, has opened sign-ups for its 2026 vegetable box program. This initiative allows local residents to secure a weekly supply of fresh produce for the upcoming growing season while supporting a local farm.

The program runs for 19 weeks, starting in mid-June and continuing until mid-October 2026. According to New Leaf Market Garden, participants will receive a variety of hand-picked seasonal vegetables delivered in a box each week.

Owner Jeremy MacDonald manages the farm using ecological farming methods that avoid the use of synthetic pesticides or genetically modified seeds. The farm also avoids using heavy machinery to grow its crops on New Jerusalem Road.

Residents can pick up their weekly vegetable box program share directly at the farm in Waterloo. There is also a weekly pickup location at the Benton St. Baptist Church in Kitchener, with some limited delivery options available upon request.
