About the Program
The Good Food Box program is a community based food distribution program designed to make good food more accessible to everyone in Timmins! Food is purchased at wholesale prices from grocers and farmers and those savings are passed on to anyone who wants to purchase a box.
Each Good Food Box contains a variety of veggies and fruits that change each month and includes a bilingual newsletter with nutritional information and recipes.
What's in it for you?
Savings: Customers save on average 25-30% from their purchases.
Variety: The variety of fruits and vegetables in the boxes changes month by month, depending on what is available from our suppliers.
Information: Each Good Food Box includes a bilingual newsletter that contains fun facts, storage and nutritional information, as well as a recipe for a featured food item.
A green conscience: We work with local farmers as much as possible to bring you seasonal and local foods that travel fewer food miles from field to table.
Purchasing decisions for the Good Food Box are made based on quality, value, variety, source proximity and season.
