    We're creating a Better Food System in Guelph.

    To us, a Better Food System is one that is building community through better food. Here's how our project works:

    1. You Purchase our Locally Sourced and Healthy Meals

    Our meals are prepared using farm fresh produce grown in our own neighbourhood. We then partner with top local restaurants and chefs to create our 100% Made in Guelph meals.

    2. 100% of your Sale Supports our Community Farm

    Through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Hope House has access to an 8.4 acre plot of land in Guelph where we grow over 10,000 pounds of farm-fresh produce every year. All profits from our meals are invested into our community food work.

    3. We Build Community by Sharing Food

    In 2020 alone, we shared over $500,000 of groceries through our community food market and with other food security agencies in Guelph. By purchasing a meal, you help make our Better Food System possible.

    Better Food.

    For the same price as takeout, you can purchase a healthy vegetarian or vegan meal that's grown in your community and prepared by your community.

    Better Community.

    For the same effort as takeout, you can help sustain a food system where healthy food is shared with those who need it. We have a responsibility to share the food that our garden shares with us.

    March 2023's meal created by owner of Delicious Direct

    Chef Dan Baker

    I believe that food insecurity is a major issue today and the root of many other social issues. I find it extremely distressing that in this country that has the ability to produce so much food, people go hungry.

    One of my greatest learnings came from the year I spent in China, opening a café. There I saw first hand how little food was wasted. It made me acutely aware of the obscene amount of food we waste in Canada. Arguably the highest food waste per capita of any country in the world. We need to do better.

    I am excited to share this meal with our community because any little thing I can do to help with our communities food insecurity issue I consider an honour.
