Let's buy food together.
We pool our grocery money, buy straight from BC farmers, and split the haul at the farm.
Food got expensive. Farms are disappearing. We stopped knowing our neighbours.
So we're fixing all three. Together.

to afford food
Easy as 1, 2, 3.
Chip in
$100 a month goes in the community pot.
We buy direct
One giant order, straight from BC farmers, at wholesale prices.
Grab your share
Swing by the farm, pack your bag, say hi.
Every dollar: 90¢ buys food, 10¢ keeps the program running.
Real hauls. Real savings.
THANKS FOR BUYING TOGETHER ♥
Real prices from fall 2026 pickups. Store prices checked on pickup day. Hauls change with the season.
It's not just groceries.
It's bonfires, borrowed bags, and knowing who grew your peaches.
Hi, I'm Gagan.
My family farms on Sumas Way in Abbotsford. I've tried markets, a fruit stand, delivery hubs, even a farmers parade. The best idea was the simplest one: neighbours buying together.
See you at the farm!Abbotsford first.

When can I join?
Our first 160 families are in the pilot now. The next group opens in 2027, and the waitlist hears first.
What do I get?
An equal share of every haul, sized for 2 to 4 people. Whatever's in season and a great deal that week. Some hauls are small, some are 40 lbs.
Can I pick what's in it?
Not yet. We eat with the seasons and buy the best deals. That's how prices stay this low.
Is it organic?
A mix of organic, spray-free and conventional. An organic-only group is on the list.
Where's pickup?
At the farm: 494 Sumas Way, Abbotsford. Open noon to 7 PM daily, with a 1 to 5 day window per haul. Bring your own bags.
What if I can't make it?
Send a friend. Anything not picked up gets shared or donated, never wasted.
Where does my $100 go?
90% buys food. 10% covers staff, space and running the program.
I have another question.
Email Gagan at gagan@instaberry.ca. He reads them all.
We can do more together than we can alone.
