What is the Independent Food Fee?
The Independent Food Fee is a $10.00 fee added during check-out. This is our way of investing in local and independent food producers and farmers. By paying this fee, you are contributing directly to a more sustainable food economy that prioritizes small producers over large corporations.
Why is the Independent Food Fee important?
Did you know that farmers only receive an average of $0.14 for every dollar spent in supermarkets? In contrast, Harvie’s producers earn an average of $0.50 for every dollar. This substantial difference keeps more money in the hands of small producers, helping to build a new, sustainable food economy that benefits everyone, not just giant corporations.
How does this benefit you?
By allocating more of your grocery budget to the local, independent food economy, you support more independent producers and contribute to a sustainable and equitable food system.
