Quabbin Harvest launches Basics program

Everyday low prices on basic staple items

On September 12, Quabbin Harvest launched a new Basics program to provide quality, healthy staple items at reduced prices. By committing to a reduced margin on these essential items we’re able to help you make healthy choices on a budget. Look for the orange colored Basics labels across the store on grocery items, produce, household, and body care products. We have cost compared these items with two major grocery store chains in the area.

The mission of Quabbin Harvest is to provide healthy food at an affordable price, while building community, supporting local agriculture and respecting the natural environment.
