I don't have much info on Food Banks, but have heard of the following special place for fruits and vegetables.  

- Thursdays only, 18:30-21.  
- The $6 supplies can last 2 persons for MORE than 1 week. (U need a shopping cart with wheels)
- Quality of produce are poor, go bad quite quick. (I'm not 100% sure)  
-  Simple registration: only require proof of address or something, can buy once every 2 weeks.
-  Special registration: with proof of low income (I assume), can buy every week.  
- 2 line-ups at the door; one side is repeated clients, the other side is new clients, something like that.  
-  Apparently many people go there from far away.  
-  Apparently people at that Church don't like Chinese.

Our last box on March 3 was a bit expensive, we skipped once for personal reason.  For whatever unknown reason, BBBB changed delivery of 7/4 to 14/4.

Once in a while we do get 'bad' vegetable, this program may not be good for some of u.  For us, we don't have much vegetable store around us + other personal reasons, we will continue to stay on this program.

说的非常好！不是非转基因的菜。

好处嘛? 貌似全都使用非化学肥料，什么安全的，健康的  。 。 。 。普通蔬菜的双倍或三倍价格。似乎很多人买！

去年，有人问有机蔬菜。 在我自己来说, 如果常常有不同的新鲜蔬菜吃，已经非常幸福的啦! :cool:

Organic Food Basket Pros: Affordability, Taste & Community Support
From saving money (most fruit and vegetable basket plans vary from $15 to $35 a week) to supporting the local economy as well as giving a bigger share of your money to the farmers themselves, the pros of buying organic food baskets are as plentiful as the surprising selection, quality and quantity of produce you'll get every week when you join a CSA farm. Here's an example of what you can expect to find on a weekly organic food basket.

In addition to getting to know the people who grow your food, organic farms selling food baskets in Montreal protect soil and food quality by avoiding pesticides, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, antibiotics, growth hormones and genetically modified seed.

And before you read the cons, take a look at what Molly Watson, your About.com Guide to Local Foods has to say about the advantages of eating local in general.

Cons: Practicality, Choice & Risk
CSA farms generally adhere to strict weekly schedules with drop-offs at select neighborhood locations. So if your schedule is as unpredictable as a flight attendant's, you might have difficulty obtaining your pre-purchased basket. Some farms have a no refund policy, others give the missed baskets to charity and still others make alternate arrangements (such as farms specializing in meat) so do check how flexible a CSA farm is regarding scheduling, drop-off locations and refunds.
