THE LOCAVORE BOX

The Locavore Box is a type of Community Supported Agriculture, where particpants pre-pay for seasonally fresh local produce. This produce is conviently packed in a box and ready for pick up at a central location. Sounds like a deal!

Here's some more information...

What you can expect from the Locavore Box:

Every second Tuesday; between 3:30 and 5:30 PM you will pick up a box of fresh locally produced food at the depot – 56 King Street. The box will also contain a newsletter and an evaluation form so you can give feedback on the content of the box and the progression of this pilot project. The cost is $20 PER Locavore Box. The box will contain $20 worth of Farmers’ Market priced fresh produce – picked just that morning! A $10 box deposit will be required with your first payment. For each pick up date you will need to return your empty box and completed weekly feedback form in exchange for a new box full of produce. The contest of the box will vary according what is in season. You will not be able to choose the contents; however, what you do receive will be fresh and in-season.

Other information:

We hope the first box will be ready for pick up starting June 29th and continue right through to October. (Mother Nature permitting!)

• The boxes will be pre-paid for by cheque or cash – either in monthly payments or in full.
• The evaluation form is mandatory as we would like to see the success of this project continue in the future to benefit you and the local producers.
• Information packages will be emailed to you before May 24th.
