About Epoch Food Hub

Local food made easy — and fair.

Epoch Food Hub is a transparent online grocery hub that connects households with local farms and food makers across Eastern Ontario—making it simpler to shop local, and more sustainable for the people who grow our food.

How it started

Epoch Food Hub started with a simple realization: when you shop directly from one farm, it can be hard to get the full variety you need week to week. Even the best farms have seasons, and every farm’s soil and strengths are different.

So we built a hub that lets local farmers focus on what they do best—then brings those strengths together in one place. The result is a better experience for you: a wider, more reliable selection of fresh local food, grown and made by people in your region.

And because this is a farmer-run, farmer-focused business, the hub is built around what actually works on the ground: fair partnerships, real transparency, and a system designed to support local producers long-term.

Our goal is to reconnect our community with the farmers who feed it—and make it easier to choose local, with confidence, week after week.

What we believe

Our mission is to strengthen our local food system by uniting communities and small farmers. Through a transparent online marketplace, we make local, sustainable food more accessible—and help the people who grow it thrive.

Shopping local shouldn’t be complicated. People want quality food and real transparency—and producers deserve a fair, stable route to market.

Epoch Food Hub was created to bridge the gap between field and fork, using an online-first experience that fits real life while strengthening the local food economy.
