Saint John Food Purchasing Club

Interested in getting cheaper fruits and vegetables?  The Saint John Food Purchasing Club offers monthly opportunities to order produce at less than half the cost of the grocery store. 

Providing inexpensive produce since 1997

Offering access to good quality vegetables and fruit at affordable prices.


The Saint John Food Purchasing Club is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that has been in operation since May, 1997. The goal is to help members in our community stretch their food dollar by offering access to good quality vegetables and fruit at affordable prices. 

  • Orders are available in two sizes: $15.00 or $25.00.
  • The money is pooled together and we buy direct from wholesalers in bulk to take advantage of lower prices!


Pay for the order you want ($15 for one large reusable shopping bag or $25 for two bags) by the order date each month (listed below). Pick up your order on pick-up day (the following Friday) between 12:00 p.m.– 3:00 p.m. You do not need to buy an order every month – just when it is beneficial to you! The orders may not be ready for pick up before 12 p.m.


If you want to pay via e-transfer, email your order request and e-transfer your money to Martha.MacLean@HorizonNB.ca or call 632-5537. When emailing your order, you MUST include your name, order size ($15 or $25), pickup location of choice (see list below), and contact information.
