Community Hub Host Agreement

You provide a clean, covered pickup spot at your home where neighbours can grab their weekly produce boxes. A porch, a garage, a side entrance, or any area that stays dry and out of the weather.

No refrigeration is needed. All boxes are packed fresh from our cooler and sealed to hold their quality through the pickup window.

You agree to keep your laneway, driveway, and any walkways used for pickup clear and clean of debris, snow, ice, and obstructions, so customers can come and go safely.

The people visiting your hub are neighbours, friends, and families from your community. A clear, accessible path looks after everyone, and it reflects well on the hub.

We agree on a delivery day and a pickup window that work for your household. Your neighbours will know when to expect their boxes and when to come by.

Once your pickup window closes, any boxes still waiting are in your hands. You decide what happens next.

You can keep the produce for yourself. You can give it to a neighbour. You can donate it to a local food bank or community group. You can arrange a late pickup with the customer directly.

If a customer picks up after the window closes, that arrangement is between you and them. We are not responsible for the condition of produce once the window has passed.

A hub works best with about four households ordering to your address each delivery, your own included. That is usually the point where the trip is worth it for everyone, and the food keeps moving the way fresh produce should.

We are not going to hold a number over you. If your hub runs quieter than that, we will check in like neighbours, ask how it is going, and see whether a different day or pickup window fits your life better. Our only real worry is produce waiting too long. Fresh food is the whole promise, and a box that sits does not keep it. So if pickups get inconsistent, that is a conversation between us, never a penalty.

Two ways we say thank you for opening your space.

The neighbours you invite get our best welcome on their first box. Hosting feeds the people around you, and it gives a little back to you.

We keep this simple, and we write it down so there are no surprises.

Table and Kin looks after the food and the customers. The produce, the packing, and the quality up to the moment a box reaches your hub are ours. Any customer question or issue is ours too. You are never on the hook for the produce, a missing box, or a customer matter.

You look after your space. You keep the pickup area and the path to it clean, dry, and clear, so anyone stopping by can come and go safely. As the property owner, the safe condition of your property during the pickup window is yours, the same as it would be for any guest you welcome.

Because neighbours will visit on pickup day, let your home or business insurer know that a few people pick up here each week, so your own coverage fits what you are doing.

Table and Kin carries its own business liability coverage for our products and our operations.

This partnership continues as long as it works for both of us. If either of us needs to step away, just give two weeks notice. No hard feelings, no complications.

Table and Kin is fully responsible for our products and our customers. You are not on the hook for anything related to the produce, missing boxes, or customer issues. That is on us.

If your schedule changes, if you need a break for a week, if something comes up, just let us know. We will figure it out. That is what neighbours do.

We look after our customers by treating them fairly. We look after you by handling anything that comes up on the customer side directly. And together we are building something that helps our neighbours eat well.

If either of us has an idea to make things work better, we talk about it. If something is not working, we fix it together.
