Question 1

How does your Farmstand work?

Accepted Answer

Winter - Herbs, Vegetation, and some items will be not available and listed as out of stock. However homemade breads, pastas, body care items are available for purchase. Please let us know via email juniperrosegarden@proton.me or on the website in the Chat Bot messenger if you are interested in pre-ordering or picking up items. I accept E-transfer first before the order is placed. This ensures your commitment prior to me doing any baking or creating. Once the order is complete I will arrange for a pickup time.

Spring - Fall -  When the farm stand is open out front  there will be a secure box for honour system. Place your payment in cash for any items you wish to grab from our Farmstand. No change can be given back so ensure you have the exact amount. This is a first come first serve basis. 
E-transfers or prepaying with holds or pre-orders are available as well. Items will be placed aside with your name on it.  You will be instructed on when your order is available for pick-up.

No IOU's. Please pay for items you take at the time of taking them or pre-pay prior. If the Farmstand is abused it will be closed.

Question 2

What forms of payments do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Cash upon arrival before goods are taken from the physical farm stand. You may pre-pay for your order in advance with E-transfer. All pre-orders such as breads, pastas,  or special requests must be paid prior to show your commitment to the order. This helps assist that materials are not wasted as I use fresh ingredients. 
E-transfers are sent to:

Question 3

Can I place an order, pre-pay, and have my order ready at the farm stand for pickup?

Accepted Answer

Yes absolutely! With sourdough items such as the pasta and bread please allow 2-4 days due to fermentation, preparation and drying time.

Question 4

How do I know what is available at the farmstand?

Accepted Answer

You can drive by when the stand is out and open for shopping. I also post on social media and update my website as to what items are available. The farmstand is on a first come first serve basis. You can inquire to see if I have items you can special order and pre-pay.

Question 5

Is your produce and herbs organic?

Accepted Answer

To label myself as "certified organic" I would have to pay a special certificate to Canada for that label. However, I do not use pesticides or chemicals on my produce or plants. I use only natural compost for fertilizing (horse manure, coffee chaff, fish emulsion, eggshells, blood meal, etc. ). For pest control, I use companion gardening practices and diatomaceous earth.

Question 6

Tell me more about your chickens and eggs?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we have Buff Orpingtons,  Lavender Orpingtons, Rhose Island Reds, and a Bantham Silkie. They lay brown eggs and cream colored. They are partially free-range. They have a large run in the yard next to their coop. On the occasion when the neighbour's cat isn't out they get let out to roam within our fenced-in garden. 
Their diet consists of non'-GMO crumble, mealworms, soldier fly larvae, bugs, leafy greens, sprouts, produce from our garden, flaxseeds, non-GMO scratch, and other seeds.

Question 7

I am not local but would love to try and purchase your skincare items. Do you ship?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I can ship non-perishable items. Please reach out to me through my chatbot on this website or email juniperrosegarden@proton.me. Tell me what you would like shipped. I can get you a shipping quote depending on your location. Canada Post offers flat rate boxes with tracking :)
