Good Food Box News
Features the Good Food Box newsletter, audio clips from various community members, and radio spots.
The Good Food Box provides Huron County residents with local vegetables and fruits monthly. It is a community-based project that relies on volunteers. Buying in large quantities from our local producers allows us to get better pricing. That means you get better value! Contact us for more information or to order your Good Food Box.
Good Value: We buy in bulk and pass the savings on to the customer. You save up to 40% off grocery store prices. A Good Fox Box costs $15.
Healthy: You get a wide variety of healthy vegetables and fruits. In each box there is a newsletter with valuable health and product information, and great recipes. Occasionally we have new and different items.
Local: Food is mostly purchased from local wholesalers and suppliers.
Fresh: The produce often comes straight from the farmers' fields to your Good Food Box the same day.
Nutritious: There is a variety of staples and many different kinds of vegetables and fruits. Kids love the boxes and families tell us that they eat more fruit and vegetables when they get a Good Food Box.
You can place an order at the neighbourhood host site by the first Friday of each month. All orders must be pre-paid in cash ($15) at the time they are placed.
You pick-up your Good Food Box on the third Thursday of each month at the host site.

Volunteers are crucial in all stages, including packing day, where 10-15 volunteers come to pack and load the boxes for distribution.
Hi, my name is Cindy, and I have been with Good Food Box for about 6 years. I love the Good Food Box because of its nice, local, fresh fruits, and when we come and volunteer here, all of the volunteers are really great to be around and the comradery between us. So the Good Food Box is a really good program.
