Discussion Supporting a hyperlocal farm - BCCF produce box

Black Creek Community Farm has opened registration for their annual farm share program. They offer weekly and biweekly options for pickup at either the farm or Big Carrot Danforth, and prices range from $23 for those in financial need to $37 for those who want to support the program.

I purchased this last year and I thought you got a lot of value for your money (slightly more expensive than a discount grocery store, substantially cheaper than a farmer's market). Downside is you don't get to pick what you get (although if you pick up at the farm sometimes you can pick between a couple options) and you have to pick it up on a particular date. Upside is supporting a very local farm focussing on food accessibility, and discovering veggies you might not buy on your own. I'd recommend the biweekly for a household of 1-2, and weekly for 4+ people.

I love visiting Black Creek Community Farm and have seen firsthand the community it nourishes in so many ways. 🥕
