WHAT PRODUCTS WILL BE AVAILABLE EACH WEEK?

Products are available according to their in-season and producers availability, so we don't have an exact list in advance. Each week, we have a variety of items ranging from vegetables and fruit, to meat and seafood, breads, pantry items, value-added products and more.

WHERE ARE THE PRODUCTS FROM?

All items sold through this Food Hub are provided by producers across Newfoundland, with a special focus on the Killick Coast region.

WHY BUY LOCAL?

By minimizing the distance between farm and table, our food has a longer shelf life, a smaller carbon footprint, improved taste, and in many cases, a higher nutrient content. Our vendors provide us with only the exact amount that was ordered by consumers, drastically reducing food waste. Also, by purchasing local products, you are supporting local businesses and helping to create a fair and sustainable local food economy.

Who is behind the killick coast food hub?

The Food Hub is an initiative of the Portugal Cove-St. Philips Chamber of Commerce, and it was a recommendation in the Killick Coast Agriculture Strategy. The Chamber believes working regionally is critical to supporting local food systems and building opportunities for the small business community within the entire Killick Coast region.

The Food Hub is operated by PCSP Chamber staff, Tara Lehman and Jane Walker. As a non-profit organization, the Food Hub charges a small 10% mark-up on all products to cover administrative and service costs.
