Gabriola Food Hub

Week One for the #gabriolafoodhub #Local Veggie Box! The vegetables have been picked, rinsed and lovingly e-bike transported to kitchens across the island. Magic shelling peas, carrots, kale, lettuce, parsley, and fresh garlic from @good_earth_farm & @heartandsoil.farm. Gabriola farms working together. And we now have Veggie Boxes available for Week Two!... Get the full season of 20 weeks (well 19 weeks since the first one is being eaten in delicious dishes right now) or choose Bi-weekly for a Veggie Box every second week. Subscribe to weekly fresh vegetables, carbon-sinking consumer choices, including nutrient-packed Microgreens, right now using the Food Hub's new online store: https://gabriolafoodhub.localfoodmarketplace.com/Subscripti #gabriolaisland #gabriola #superhyperlocalfarmfreshfood #localfood #smallscalefoodhub #foodhub #chooselocal

We have been under construction, fixing up cargo bikes and distribution channels, and we’re so excited about the arrival of Summer 2019. We have partnered with @LocalFoodMarketplace to build a new online shopping cart for produce and products -- and take the Food Hub to the next level. Very, very soon it will be even easier to buy food grown right here on #Gabriola and have it bike delivered fresh to homes, stores and restaurants. We are talking Super-Hyper-Local. And yes, th...at means Pepper the electric cargo bike is back in action. Before we bought our new bike trailer, the heavy goodness of our island vegetables overloaded a bearing ring and sent Pepper into the repair shop. It took some time, but Pepper is reborn: Version 2.3 has vastly improved battery storage, a sleeker deck, and more power to help us deliver the weekly Veg Box to every corner of Gabriola Island. Our Weekly Veg Box program is going full voltage ahead. We have the pleasure of working with @heartandsoil.farm and @good_earth_farm again this year to deliver the most beautiful, local and freshest vegetables on the island. Join us for 21 weeks of Gabriola-grown goodness; sign-up available next week. As well, there are some new players in the Gabriola food scene this year and we are thrilled to be working with @groundup.cafe, who will be making great food with huge amounts of local vegetables at the Farmer’s Market on Saturdays, and @saltandco.ca., the island’s new food truck, which will be at Silva Bay all summer long. It’s going to be a great year, and it’s launching super hyper soon. .
