Midwest Food Resources offers access to local produce at reasonable cost
Families in West Central Saskatchewan can continue to access fresh produce over the winter close to home at a modest cost.
Non-profit organization Midwest Food Resources provides its Fresh Food Box Program to families in the Battlefords and surrounding area. There is also a program run out of its Lloydminster office.
Executive Director Vesna Fa was busy in North Battleford Thursday with the help of many volunteers packing 300 boxes of produce that include many locally grown food products.
“We have carrots, potatoes, onions, beets, and cabbages from local growers,” she said. “We are buying in bulk, and passing all the savings onto our customers.”
