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.

Flexible scheduling and access for both sellers and customers.
Expanded, diversified direct sales opportunities to connect farmers and food producers with local consumers year-round.

How Will the Harvest Hub Support Local Producers and New Farming Ventures?

A centralized, secure pickup point that reduces delivery time, mileage, and transportation costs.
Year-round storage for small and bulk orders, including produce, eggs, frozen meats, seafood, preserves, and CSA boxes.
Direct customer-to-producer transactions — customers purchase directly from sellers prior to pickup at the Hub.
A dedicated Hub Manager to handle communication, scheduling, and support requests.

How Will the Harvest Hub Ensure Food Safety and Security?

Insulated construction for year-round temperature stability, supported by electrical and air-conditioning systems.
Shelving systems designed to maintain airflow and optimal product storage.
Built-in cooling and temperature monitoring with automated data tracking for quality assurance.
Restricted access via digital keypad entry and surveillance cameras for secure, traceable use.
While the facility operates without full-time staff, a team member visits multiple times per week to maintain the space, ensure cleanliness, and manage any missed orders.
