The Harvest Hub
In early 2026, we’ll launch a brand-new initiative—one that’s not only new to Squamish but groundbreaking for the entire regional food movement.
The Harvest Hub will serve as a secure, centralized, and climate-controlled pickup point where consumers can collect fresh orders directly from local farmers and food processors, year-round.
After years of planning and community engagement, this project has been carefully designed to address one of the region’s top priorities: supporting local farmers and agri-food processors while providing flexible, convenient access for customers.
The Harvest Hub is being developed in partnership with the District of Squamish and the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District, as part of the broader Squamish Valley Agriculture Plan.
