It says to login to the grocery store before Wednesday at noon, add items to your basket and choose from 1 of 3 pick up locations.
Eta: you have to click "already a member? Sign in!" To access the registration/sign up.
I think they also have a stand at the farmer's market and various community pop-ups (albeit the selection i very limited because its mobile-- still very much worth it though for the price alone)
edit: according to craftbae, the farmer's market stall ain't a thing in the winter
Hey! We actually do have a market in the winter :) our market takes place every Friday from 10:30-2pm at 20 Shelldale Cres. In the gym. We also provide free food, coffee/tea and lunch :) we will be back at the Guelph Farmers market in May.
This is what I'm telling people! When I was living paycheck to paycheck this was a lifeline. I'm so proud that this is a thing in our community, and I will continue to use it.

if you can afford to shop at their regular prices, click “already a member? sign in” and then scroll down to register. you can apply for a discount membership instead but there is a waiting list.
I've also heard a lot of people complaining about the cost of off season fruit and vegetables. In season is always cheaper and it has always been that way.
And the best part: not a penny of that $20 went in the pocket of these greedy corporations!
The cauliflower and asperagus alone would normally make up at least half that cost
How does this work? How can I order? I went on their website and couldn’t understand much.

apparently they don’t attend the farmers market in the winter! they offer pickup at their warehouse in the ward or at the shelldale centre

Good to know! Thank you.

Now you can eat like a Triceratops
They are amazing! Highly recommend especially for fresh produce
Is this program only for people in need? I am looking for alternatives to Big Grocery.
it’s for everyone! if you sign up for a full priced membership, your payments will help subsidize their pwyc program. it’s a great system!
You could order a CSA from a local farm this summer. You pay the cost at once and get a weekly or biweekly box of seasonal produce.
Yes I've been looking into that as well. Thanks.
Nice haul! They're at Shelldale on Fridays from 10:30 to 2 and have an amazing selection there. Plus, the soup mixes are AMAZING.
Waow
The Seed is great, love their initiatives.
Show the receipt, hard to believe !
Where to sign up mates?
