Scenic Rim, QLD replaces canceled Eat Local Week with Farm Box food delivery program

Scenic Rim, QLD Farm Box Food Delivery Program

In Progress

The council and local farmers designed Farm Box following the event's cancellation due to COVID-19. Regional residents customize weekly boxes with 240 products from 50 producers. Pre-selected collections are available as samplers of Scenic Rim's food scene. Produce, bread, and meat are delivered in wooden crates to customers from Scenic Rim to Brisbane. Council officials estimate 18 jobs were created and some of the $2 million AUD in Eat Local Week revenue was recovered by Farm Box.
