The Whole Food Box is a community supported agriculture initiative that was started in 2001, in the attempt to bring healthful, fresh, whole organically locally grown produce to downtown Kitchener at affordable prices.
The program has expanded over the years to now provide boxes to 100 member households who purchase shares in advance to receive fresh produce from mid-June to the end of October. The produce is grown by the many hard-working family members at 9 small Old Order Mennonite & Amish farms in the Waterloo Region, offering economic supports to those farms as well as building stronger connections within our larger community.
The produce is distributed at the back of the Working Centre's Queen Street Commons Cafe, (43 Queen St. S.) conveniently located in downtown Kitchener, every Tuesday & Thursday between 4-6 pm. Extra produce is often available for sale on the "side", so non-members are welcome to come by and browse.
The first pick-up for 2007 is Tuesday, June 12th, from 4-6 pm.
