Ordering and Pick Up Questions

What is the North Okanagan Good Food Box?

How much does the Good Food Box Cost?

We offer two different boxes:  Small $15 and Large $25
For more details CLICK HERE

What is in the Small and Large Good Food Box?

This will depend on the season, cost and the availability of the produce. Visit our Newsletter page for a complete list of produce that went out in boxes this past year.

Is the produce local?

The Good Food Box prioritizes purchasing local food first.

How do you get your produce so cheap?
The economic cost of the Good Food Box is made possible by group buying fresh local and regional produce at economical wholesale prices. Volunteer labour for sorting and packing is also key to keeping the prices down.
Do you have recipe ideas for all the produce I received?

Our monthly newsletter includes delicious meal ideas featuring the produce included in every box. 

When and where can I pick up my box?

 

Distribution Day for all locations takes place on the third Thursday of each month. The pickup location you chose when placing your order will be included in the automatic confirmation email you received.
If you are still unsure, please contact us via our Contact Us page.

Can I order every month?
You can order each month or by subscription. With our online ordering system you can tailor your order to your monthly needs.
How do the automatic subscriptions work?

Automated Monthly Subscriptions: Never Miss an Order Again!

With automated monthly subscriptions, you can effortlessly ensure that you don’t forget to place your order each month.

Currently, the monthly subscription option is only available for credit card payments.

IMPORTANT! Subscription orders have a cutoff date and credit card charge date on the 5th of each month.

Why is there a different cutoff for subscriptions?

We adjusted the subscription cutoff date because the second Tuesday of each month varies in relation to the first day. Some months it could be just 7 days, while in most cases it may be more. Since subscriptions are designed to automatically submit your order each month, it’s crucial to set them with enough time to avoid any charges or submissions after the standard cutoff. We’ve included a few extra days for flexibility in case of any unexpected issues with your order.

How do the order and renewal dates function?

Understanding subscriptions can sometimes be tricky, so let us clarify how they work:

Any subscriptions initiated after the 5th of the month (for the next month’s box) will be charged immediately upon starting your subscription. Please refer to the future charge dates provided. If your order is placed after the 5th but before the regular non-subscription cutoff (the second Tuesday of the month), you still have the option to place a REGULAR, non-subscription order to receive your box on the upcoming pickup date.

Examples of the timelines for ordering a subscription box:

Example 1) You subscribe anytime between the 6th day of the current month until the end of the current month. Your card will be charged now as you complete your subscription order. Your box will then be ready for pickup on the NEXT month’s pickup day. From then on your subscription will process and charge every month on the 5th day of the month and be available.

Example 2) You subscribe anytime between the 1st to the 4th day of the current month. Your card will be charged now as you complete your subscription order. Your box will then be ready for pickup on the CURRENT month’s pickup day. From then on your subscription will process and charge every month on the 5th day of the month.

If you have any questions about how the subscriptions work, please contact us using our contact page.

Can I substitute items in my Good Food Box?
To keep costs low for everyone, the contents of each box is standardized by the Good Food Box. No substitutions.
