Healthy Food Boxes
This is part of our mission to increase access to affordable, healthy food to First Nations in Northern Manitoba. Because we ship fast and direct, our food is often fresher and retain more nutrition than what is available on local store shelves due to having a shorter time span between farm to table. As well, we work to ensure our prices are very competitive with many northern retailers
Who We Are
Aki Foods is an Indigenous non-profit social enterprise focused on developing healthy food-based projects that promote employment opportunities and economic development in First Nations communities. In Northern First Nations across Canada, the cost of food is disproportionately high and the food quality is often of poor, we work with First Nations to increase access to healthy, affordable food, with an emphasis on working with communities to build strong, sustainable local food systems.
The Meechim Project
An Agricultural hub in Northern Manitoba
Beginning in 2014, this project would initiate the work that would set forth the development of Aki Foods as a sister social enterprise of Aki Energy. The project aims to grow healthy, locally grown food for the community and provides education and training opportunities for Indigenous youth. Projects like ‘The Meechim Project’ work to find solutions to alleviate poverty and food insecurity while creating long term employment and sustainable economic development in the community.
