Our Small Produce bag feeds 1-2 people for a week.
This produce bag is made up of the most local produce we can source. When in season we will source items from Niagara farmers, however we are a year-round operation. Therefore, we are forced to put certain items in the bag that are not local due to our growing seasons.
Items you may expect to find in your produce bag include: tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, white potatoes, russet potatoes, onions, spanish onions, red onions, apples, lettuce, kale, mushrooms, green beans, carrots, brussle sprouts, cucumbers, cabbage, broccoli, beets, parsnips, turnips, celery, garlic, tomatoes.
For example the week of Sept 1 had:
Potatoes
Onions
Squash
Cabbage
Spinach
Romaine lettuce
Tomatoes
Peppers
Carrots
Eggplant
Beans
Apples
Pears
Contents will vary weekly! Subscribe to the email newsletter at the bottom of this page for a list of what fruits and vegetables are in the bag week to week.
*Please note, we add in produce that is not local but this will be very limited. For example, if we come across an excess of avocados, we'd like to be able to provide them to you and will add them. Or, we add bananas, because a lot of our subscribers are parents, and the kids enjoy them. And in some cases, we buy items at a discount, or we are given food that we can easily hand out to community groups, helping the people who are still without a home in Niagara.
Our point? We want local more than anyone, and this subscription is us navigating the current food system in real time, to increase our purchasing power, and grow and buy more local food.
When we purchase from a local food system, the profit stays within our community. We believe this is a great way to unite the various groups within Niagara and surrounding areas to both fundraise but also feed. And grow.
And then grow even more.
Please note, this item will be delivered to a pick up location in Cambridge on Sept 30. Please contact Kyla Shaw at rhnkylashaw@gmail.com if you have any questions about pick up.
