The Good Food Box
What is the Good Food Box?
The Good Food Box program offers fresh, high-quality fruits and vegetables to neighbourhoods across Victoria. Available in different sizes to meet your needs, these boxes are curated with seasonal produce, often sourced from local farmers promoting a sustainable food system.
Who can participate?
Anyone. We welcome box orders from anyone who wants to support the program—in fact, we are stronger and more sustainable the larger our customer base.
Why order a Good Food Box?
You will save money.
Good Food Box is like a bulk-buying club. We pass the savings on to you, and only add a small mark up to cover operating costs. Our goal is to make produce available at the lowest price possible to the greatest number of community members.
You will be supporting bags at no- cost for families who need it.
In 2023, our Gift of Good Food campaign fed 228 families, seniors and new parents facing barriers to accessing nutritious, fresh food. Every bag purchase supports this program to keep running, week in week out to get food in bellies.
You will be supporting local farmers.
Good Food Box orders seasonal produce from local and regional farmers. We love working directly with farmers across the Saanich Peninsula to get the freshest seasonal produce into our bags. We do source from other places, mostly within a 200 mile radius, though through the winter months especially, many fruits and some vegetables come from international sources. We always prioritize buying locally.
Our Sustainable Bag
Customers choosing to buy this bag can be assured that the produce has been grown using methods that encourage soil health, without the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
We include a combination of Certified Organic, spray-free and sustainably grown produce, which prioritizes local produce grown right here on the Saanich Peninsula.
As with all our Charities of the Month, proceeds from the sale of tasters at the Growler Bar, as well as the donations we collect, will be given to this awesome and important group of folks.
