Good Food Market Credits
Announcing Good Food Market Credits!
Looking to support Fresh Roots through purchasing produce but are finding the full season CSA veggie box to be a bit more of a commitment than you are able to manage? Or maybe you prefer the flexibility of market-style shopping?
The Good Food Market Credit program might be for you!
How It Works
- Market Credits are a flexible system that allows you to purchase the kind of products you want when you want them using your Market Credit card.
- Like a traditional CSA, you purchase Market Credits at the beginning of the season in $50, $100, $200, $300, increments which are loaded onto your card.
- We don’t pack a box for you, instead, you can shop at our markets and purchase what and how much you want.
- Each time you make a purchase it will be deducted from the balance on your card.
Market Locations
You can use your Good Food Market Credits at any of our markets:
- Van Tech Secondary School 3-7 pm on Wednesdays, June – early October
- Suwa’lkh School 3-6 pm on Thursdays, June – August
- Various pop-up markets, announced via the market newsletter (email food@freshroots.ca to sign up) and on instagram @freshrootsfarms
The Benefits
-
- Allows for more flexibility, and different price ranges than our CSA. You pick the location, the produce, and the quantity.
- You receive our weekly newsletters which include food journalism, recipes, stories from programs and the farm.
*If you have a leftover balance at the end of the season, it will roll over into the next year for you.*
Choose the amount you think you need by estimating how much you might spend on produce over the season. Please note that we have a limited amount of market credits on offer!
