Local farmers and food producers want to supply you with the best of their best. Their challenge is to create a system that brings you what you want to eat in a way that is sustainable and fair to both producers and eaters.
To this end, you are being invited to participate in a survey about your family's likes, needs and patterns in food shopping and cooking. Where do you buy your food? What do you consider in making your choices? How interested are you in prepared foods? The Grey Bruce Centre for Agro-ecology, a farm-based co-operative, will use the community's answers to create an on-line ordering system that will bring local food right to your neighbourhood, maybe even right to your door. Fresh, convenient, packaged to suit your household at competitive prices – that is the goal. From veggies and baking to coffee, pantry staples and prepared meals, the local grocery distribution system can provide a wide variety of food options.
Your answers to the survey linked here will help local producers provide the right mix for our Grey-Bruce eaters. All the submissions will be confidential, but you will have the option to sign up for updates as the distribution project unfolds toward a launch as early as this fall.
