Root Radical CSA
We are seeking individuals to work alongside the rest of the CSA team in all aspects of our 2 acre organic vegetable gardens and greenhouses. Part time and full time positions available.
About us: Root Radical Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) provides 150 organic vegetable shares and organic eggs to Kingston area households.
In the garden, most work is done by hand or with human-powered tools. We use tractors for spreading compost, tilling the garden, moving our chicken house weekly and for other heavy lifting. We have two greenhouses, we use drip irrigation systems in our gardens and we do some seed saving.
For our egg CSA, we pasture a mixed flock of chickens (Barred Plymouth Rocks and commercial browns).
Root Radical CSA is located on Howe Island between Kingston and Gananoque. The CSA garden is about 2 acres on Doublejay Farm, an organic dairy farm. Doublejay Farm is about 300 acres, including hay fields, permanent pastures, gardens, riverfront and wooded areas. Emily Dowling is the main CSA farmer, receiving support from her family.
