The Good Food Box is a non-profit fresh fruit and vegetable distribution system locally operated by Bryan South. It runs like a large buying club with centralized buying and co-ordination. Twice a month, individuals place orders for boxes with volunteer co-ordinators in their neighborhood. Customers pay between $10 and $30 for their box, depending on the version that they choose. Buyers purchase top-quality fruit and vegetables from local farmers, and volunteers pack the boxes. Each box contains the same mixture of food, though the contents change with each delivery, depending on what is in season and reasonable at the time. Drivers deliver the boxes to the neighborhood drop-offs, where the local volunteer co-ordinators ensure that customer's pick-up their boxes.

• High quality, fresh, nutritious, culturally and personally acceptable food is the basis of the Good Food Box.
• Take seriously the fact that customers on a limited budget trust the project with their money and rely on getting food they can use, avoid adding to the stress of food insecurity.
• Be responsive to people's tastes while encouraging people to push their limits and develop an appreciation and love for food.
• Where does the food come from? Develop a purchasing policy that encourages sustainable farming practices, supports the local economy, and takes issues of social justice into account. Educate about the origins of the food.
