SFU Local Food Project

Why join the Harvest Box?

By being a part of Harvest Box you can save money, add a variety of nutritious fruits and vegetables to your diet, receive monthly newsletters with recipes, and support your local farms and community!

The Harvest Box is…

• Convenient — Get fresh and healthy produce delivered to campus once a month

• Healthy — Increase the number of fresh fruits and veggies in your student diet

• Affordable — Save money by buying directly from farmers instead of grocery stores

• Responsible — Reduce food miles (and GHG emissions) by eating local produce whenever possible, reducing trips to the grocery store, and reducing plastic packaging

• Educational — Learn new things about preparing produce you eat everyday and learn about items you may not be so familiar with

• Community Minded — Support BC farmers and your community

• An Adventure — We never know what we’re getting in the box so every month you get to try some of your old favorites, such as carrots and potatoes, as well as some more unusual fruit and vegetables.  As one Harvest Box participant said, “It’s like Christmas!”
