A Turnkey Solution!


Our program is simple to implement and supports local, organic agriculture! The baskets available for sale come in three sizes:

Small Basket – $40
Medium Basket – $80
Large Basket – $120

Revenue is distributed as follows: 75% goes to the farm, and 25% goes to your organization. Consequently, each basket sold generates $10, $20, or $30 for you, depending on the size. The minimum threshold for participating in a campaign is set at 60 baskets.

To learn more, check out our brochure, which details every step of the process, the contents of the baskets, and the key contacts available to assist you.

OFFER A SOLIDARITY BASKET

The project offers the possibility of strengthening food security through a basket donation option. Families may contribute to the purchase of solidarity baskets destined for vulnerable families in their region in addition to a basket for their own household use. These baskets will be directed to an organization (food bank or neighbourhood organization) jointly chosen by the institution and the farm.
