Discover Sooke

Operating throughout Sooke and the Capital Health Region, the Good Food Box Program is a terrific, affordable and convenient way to incorporate healthy food into your diet, while at the same time supporting local (Sooke, Metchosin and Saanich) farms and distributors.

Boxes of fresh produce are available to anyone. Boxes are offered in a variety of sizes at just $5, $10 or $15 for fruit and vegetable boxes, or $12 for an all fruit box and $15 for a natural/organic box.

The program is run by volunteers and payment (in exact change) is collected by the 2nd Wednesday of each month at several community agencies.
