We’re excited to share two big developments that celebrate our community and deepen our roots in Fernwood and across British Columbia.
First up: the BC Only Box is a new Good Food Box option in our roaster. In response to rising global tariffs and supply chain instability, the BC Only Box is a practical and political choice. It’s about keeping our food dollars local, reducing reliance on international imports, and building resilience from the ground up. Every carrot, potato, or bunch of kale in this box is grown close to home, and every purchase supports local farmers, food security, and the local economy.
This box offering is part of our broader commitment to food security, sustainability, and community resilience. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or new to the Good Food Box, the BC Only Box is a great way to taste the region and support the people who grow our food. Plus, it’s a beautiful example of how community-powered food systems can make fresh, healthy produce accessible to everyone.
And speaking of access: we’ve just launched our brand-new Good Food Box website!
Designed with our Good Food Box community in mind, the new website makes it easier than ever to subscribe, manage your orders, and stay connected. Whether you’re signing up for your first box or adjusting your weekly subscription, the updated platform is user-friendly, mobile-accessible, and built to simplify the process.
You can now:
- Easily order your Good Food Box, including the new BC Only Box
- Pause, skip, or update your subscription without having to email or call
- Manage your pick-up location or delivery options in just a few clicks
- Access helpful info about box sizes, pricing and how the program works
This launch is about more than a website, it’s about giving people the tools to access food with dignity and ease. We know that when systems are simple and intuitive, more folks can participate, more food can get where it needs to go, and we all benefit.
Together, the new GFB website and the launch of the BC Only Box reflect what we do best: celebrate the local, build systems that work for people, and grow community from the ground up.
We invite you to check out the new site at thegoodfoodbox.ca, and while you’re there, why not order a BC Only Box? Let’s nourish our community; one local apple and one neighbourhood at a time.
