With Spring upon us, and the potential for a bountiful growing season just around the corner, Toronto food lovers and locavores alike have a lot to look forward to.
Not only do Ontario farmlands have the ability to produce a dizzying array of fruits, vegetables, and meats but these bounties are now available to Toronto urbanites at a scale never before seen.

I live alone so I also can't participate in a CSA but I do buy a Good Food Box from FoodShare which strives to buy as much locally as possible. You can purchase small and large boxes, organic or non-organic, as often as you'd like. I buy a small organic box each week but I think you could easily get by every second week. Have a look:

... I have a minestrone on my stove as we speak :) The GFB is just another way to support local farmers and the bonus is that it's offered all year long and is a bit more flexible. As well, as it's part of Food Share I'm supporting a non-profit in Toronto that initiates other activities such as the urban gardens and school breakfasts for over 20 000 kids.
