What is the Food Hub?
The San Juan Islands Food Hub is an online marketplace for local food and agricultural products. Customers on Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan can buy directly from farmers and food producers across the county on one convenient storefront and receive their orders at a weekly Wednesday pick-up on each island.
As a multi-stakeholder cooperative, our mission is to increase the production and sales of local food in San Juan County; support a viable agricultural economy, strengthen food security; and promote access to healthy, sustainably grown food.
How it works:
- Register using the green buttons above and see what’s available on the Food Hub right now. Yes, you can purchase from producers on other islands!
- The order period is Friday-Sunday every week. Producers may add new products as they sell out of items or new quantities become available, so check back before the market closes on Sunday night to make sure you didn’t miss anything.
- Producers harvest or prepare food on Monday/Tuesday, then deliver inter-island goods for transport.
- Wholesale buyers can order once a week with delivery to their business by arrangement
- Every Wednesday, retail buyers pick up their orders at their local distribution site:
- 3:00-4:00pm at Taproot on Lopez (1008-C Dill Road, Lopez Island) Pick-up Wednesday any time after noon—or Tuesday afternoon if you don’t have items from Orcas. When you enter the driveway, park on the east side of the building. Come through the grey door with the SJIFH logo; your bag will be in the upright fridge to the left and any frozen items will be in the chest freezer beside it.
- 5-6pm on Wednesday or 9am-6pm on Thursday at Orcas Food Co-op on Orcas (138 N Beach Road #913, Eastsound) The Food Hub space is located in the Provisions pick-up area south of the main Co-op building, accessed through the green door in the courtyard. You’ll receive a door code in your confirmation email that allows for self-service. Grab the order that’s labeled with your name from the Food Hub labeled fridge and any frozen items from the adjacent freezer. If you have issues finding the location, please speak to Co-op staff.
- 4:00-5:30pm at Brickworks on San Juan (150 Nichols Street, Friday Harbor). If you’re driving, please go up Sunshine Alley and wait for a turn to park along the Brickworks building. You’ll be asked for the name on your order and you’ll receive your items in a paper bag.
- For any questions about your order, please email info@sjifh.com. Occasionally inter-island ferry transportation will interrupt the delivery schedule and we provide updated information about pick-up. Thanks for your understanding, and let us know if you have any questions!
- Our staff follow careful food safety and public health protocols. Please follow directions to receive your order.
