We reuse as much as possible. Please leave out your tote boxes and reusable materials like ice packs & fruit baskets from week to week so we can wash them and get them back in circulation. On the day of your next delivery, just leave your tote outside where we normally deliver and we will swap the old for the new! Please note, we do track our branded tote boxes and require that you leave them out for us to pick up. We will always work flexibly with you to get our totes back. However, if a tote box is lost or not returned, a $7.00 fee will be added to your account balance to reimburse the cost of the branded tote.

With Mrktbox, there are no strings attached--you can close your account at any time. Simply login to your account, click 'My Account' > 'Account Info' > 'Go to Cancellation Form'. Once we receive your request, we’ll schedule a driver to pick up any bins, ice packs or foils you may have. One note: If you cancel after your cut off date & have a delivery scheduled for the following week, you will receive one final Market Box. At this point, our farmers have already received your order & begun harvesting.

The cost of produce factors in everything it takes to get from seed to plate. The cost of seeds, labor, transport, packaging, and delivery all must be accounted for. This especially takes precedence when sourcing 'Fair Trade' products like bananas, Avocados & Coffee Beans to ensure farmers are given a fair cut. But we don’t take shortcuts and we don't use exploitative pricing. We do our best to remain competitive with other local grocers and want to offer food that is not only nutritious & delicious, but also affordable to you.

We partner with farmers who grow food and raise animals the right way. That means local, organic produce whenever possible, and meat from animals that were raised certified humane on small farms. We meet with each farmer we work with to discuss their farming practices before carrying their food in our markets. We try to support as many local growers as we can, as well as encourage a healthy regional food system.

Glad you asked! Generally speaking, when we say it’s local, that means it came from Ontario, and likely from within a 75 km radius of Hamilton. We’re pretty serious about that. When you see items in your Market Box that are not local, we try our next best to ensure they are regional and at the very least USDA certified Organic. When you see warm-weather fruit or vegetables in your Market Box, that’s because we still want to offer as much variety as we can while maintaining our values on the off season of Ontario Farms.

Its best practice to always wash your fruits & vegetables before eating. When dealing with local & organic produce, despite having a significantly lower risk of pesticide residue, there still may be dirt that needs washing off. They did grow out of the earth after all!
