"We continue to purchase locally -grown foods throughout the year, but in the winter months, we purchase about half of the box items from a local grocery store," The Good Food Box offers great value because the program is able to purchase produce in bulk and pass the savings along to the customers, often saving up to 40 per cent off of grocery store prices. 11 provides con- sutners with access to healthy, nutri- tious food products while support- ing local farmers and suppliers, the local economy and the sustainabil- ity of a healthy community. "As outlined in the County of Huron's 'Take Action' report, the Good Food Box is a great initiative to support the long-term health of our communities as well as the local economy, says Huron's Sustainabil- ity Consultant, Lindsey Goodchild. Grand Bend and area residents can purchase the Good Food Box at their neighbourhood host sites, the Grand Bend Area Community Health Centre and the Zurich Public Library. Orders must be placed by the first Friday of every month, and must be pre -paid in cash ($15.00) at the time that orders are placed.

"There is no obligation to order every month, but we do encourage customers to try boxes over a two or three month period because box contents vary according to season and availability, says Fry.
