—————————
Loft Market grew from the idea of connecting local eaters with local sustainably grown organic food from family farms in the Perth, Waterloo and Wellington Regions of Southwestern Ontario.
We fill our loft bags and loft boxes each week with local sustainably grown organic food which we deliver to our 12 depot locations in Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and New Hamburg. Local eaters simply choose the weeks they want to receive food and where they want to pick it up.
Local eaters receive the freshest food possible. We pick up their orders in the early morning from our farmers and we have deliveries completed by late afternoon on the same day.
In the past year alone our farmers have doubled their certified organic land base thus reducing their use of and exposure to synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, bactericides and genetically modified organisms (research now suggests higher rates of cancer and leukemia among farmers exposed to pesticides).
With the average Canadian farmer now over 52 years of age we are nearing the point at which many of our local farmers will start to transition their farms over to their children. With your support of Loft Market we can ensure healthy, sustainable farms and sustainable incomes are passed on to these children so that they may someday feed our children.
