A monthly food box program established by the Clover Valley Farmer's Market is getting some strong interest in the region.
The program which started in the Rainy River district about a year ago, expanded to Kenora in December. Director Kim Cornell says they've also been asked to introduce the program elsewhere.
"We've actually had interest from other communities already," says Cornell. "We just got to make sure we got Kenora up and running and we have some sustainable numbers there before we start another community. I would suspect later this year we'll be in another community in the northwest."
Cornell says the program also has increased interest from local growers who help ensure local products in the healthy food boxes.
