Local Produce Buying Club

A local produce community in Ontario Canada is helping local communities to buy locally, contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions while saving money and eating well. Participants buy their vegetables, fruits and other seasonal produce from local farms, in bulk. The produce are packaged into reusable boxes and dropped off at specific points to the members. Volunteers from a local community offer there time to: -Organize a drop off zone -Collect the money from the members. -Buy in bulk for the members. -Deliver the food boxes to drop off points. The club works with farmers to reduce transportation and packaging cost. The members buy locally in bulk, contribute to reducing their carbon footprint and save money on nutritious food. I would like to know of similar projects.
