What is the Good Food Box?

The Good Food Box is a collective buying group that purchases fresh fruits and vegetables at wholesale prices. Four years after a successful launch in the NDG area, it has expanded into a regional program serving many neighbourhoods in Montreal.

The Good Food Box program offers:

• Boxes brimming with top-quality fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to your neighbourhood twice a month.

• Efficient distribution network of volunteer-run community pick-up points.

• A way to get more for your money.

• Support for small farmers by buying local, in-season produce.

• A way to connect with your neighbourhood.

 

What’s in a Box?

You will receive a variety of the freshest fruits and vegetables chosen according to seasonal availability, price and quality. There are 3 box sizes to suit everyone from a single person to a small family and each size offers a mix of vegetables and some fruits. Everyone receives the same mix. The boxes are accompanied by a newsletter offering easy and economical preparation tips and recipes as well as nutrition information. 

How Does it Work?

We buy fresh, top-quality fruits and vegetables directly from local farmers and distributors. Locally-grown produce is purchased whenever possible.

The produce is delivered directly to Moisson Montreal’s warehouse where volunteers pack it into reusable boxes which are then delivered to pick-up locations in your area.

MultiCaf, the community cafeteria and food bank, located at 3591 Appleton Avenue,
is one of several pick-up points in Côte-des-Neiges.
