The Fresh Food Box runs like a large buying club with centralized buying and coordination. Once a month, individuals place orders for boxes with volunteer coordinators in their neighbourhood and receive a box brimming with fresh, tasty, quality, fruits and vegetables.
Customers pay $8 for a handbag, $13 for a small box or $17 for a family size box. Each box contains the same mixture of food with only the quantity varies. The contents change with each delivery, depending on what is in season, the price and customer preferences. Volunteer truck drivers deliver the boxes to the neighbourhood drop-offs, where the local volunteer coordinators ensure customers receive their boxes.
We choose locally grown and Ontario grown products for the box whenever possible because we want to know where and how our food is produced, to support local growers and reduce the fossil fuels burned when we import food. Customers pay for the cost of the food itself, while distribution overheads are subsidized. All of the boxes are accompanied by a newsletter which offers nutrition information, as well as easy and economical food preparation tips and recipes.
