Welcome to Community Food Smart

 a bulk food buying club hosted by Greater Fredericton Social Innovation
​that has grown across the province of NB. 

Community Food Smart is perfect for those who want fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables at affordable prices, sourced from local farmers whenever possible.
How It Works:
  • Order: Place your order with your distributor at the start of the month.
  • Bulk Buying Power: We pool orders to purchase directly from wholesalers and farmers, passing the bulk discount straight to you.
  • Fresh Delivery: One week later, the produce arrives fresh at our center, is carefully packed by volunteers, and ready for same-day pick-up from your selected distributor.
Eat healthy, save money, and support local farmers—all in one simple process!
How Much Does It Cost?
Produce bags are just $15.00 each, and you can order one or two bags per month—no commitment to buy every month.  

First-time members are invited to pay a $10 membership fee, or whatever they can afford. This helps cover recyclable produce bags and minor administrative costs. Not sure if you want to join? No problem! You can purchase your first bag with no membership required to try out the service. For future purchases, we’d love to welcome you as a member of our club.  

How do I connect with a disctrbutor to place my order?
You can connect with a distributor in your area to request your membership. You can find the distributor list here.

​What’s in the Bag?
Our produce is carefully selected each month based on quality, price, variety, and seasonality. You can always expect staples like apples, bananas, oranges, potatoes, carrots, and onions, along with a rotating mix of seasonal favorites.  

Every bag is packed with fresh, healthy produce to keep your kitchen stocked and your meals delicious.
