Good Food Pledge

The Good Food Program is a project of the Squamish Food Policy Council and a strategic priority of the Squamish Valley Agriculture Plan. The program aims to shift the buying power of the food industry in the Sea to Sky Region towards procuring more local food based on Good Food Values. We want to celebrate the abundance of food grown and eaten in the Sea to Sky corridor and find ways to bring more local food onto the table, because frankly, it tastes so much better.

By pledging your support of Good Food Values (below) you will automatically be added to the Sea to Sky Good Food Network email list, where you will be kept informed about upcoming events, workshops, and resources to support your business or institutions journey to Good Food. The Pledge is a gesture of making a commitment to learn more about how your food operation can take steps increasing its local food purchasing. There are no strings attached, just tastier food.
