Having a co-op like Fireweed is so amazing because there is no way I would have the time to reach out or call different farmers!
– The Roost 
The Food Hub has streamlined the process of sourcing local, resulting in us being able to better support local food producers while also providing our community members with greater access to fresh, local, high-quality produce.

– NorWest Co-op Community Food Centre 
It’s shocking the difference in quality! It’s [made me] reimagine how great food can be! And how you can directly support farmers at the same time– like everybody is winning!

– Beer Cantina  
These high quality items we receive through the food hub provide opportunities for our community members to connect more with each other, and with our local food systems, in a deeply meaningful way.

How your purchase is strengthening Manitoba’s food system

Purchasing from Fireweed Food Hub is more than just buying local— it’s supporting the development of cooperatively owned infrastructure that, over time, will foster more opportunities for eaters and producers of local, sustainably-grown food in Manitoba.

FAQs

A Food Hub is the general name for a community-based economic model that aggregates food products from a region and provides a central channel (or hub) through which they are sold to regional buyers. It can look very different depending on the model.

Fireweed Food Hub operates as a nonprofit wholesale cooperative Food Hub, where Producer Members of our Co-op can become Food Hub suppliers and sell their products through our online platform to wholesale buyers such as restaurants, institutions, grocery stores, community organizations and more. 

You do not need to become a co-op member to be a wholesale customer of the Food Hub.

Fireweed sources exclusively from our Producer Co-op Members who are all small-scale farmers, ranchers, fisherfolk and food producers in our region which includes Manitoba, NW Ontario and Nunavut. 

We choose to work with suppliers who are dedicated to continually improving their operation’s ecological and social resiliency through spray-free and Organic Certified growing, crop rotation, ethical and sustainable harvesting methods, free-range meat production, and fair pay for farm labourers. Learn more about our suppliers.

We are dedicated to providing a transparent supply chain in all our operations and we never purchase from third party distributors.
