We’re raising money to help increase our impact on local food security, by doubling the amount of seedlings on offer to our neighbours from 2000 last year to 4000 this year. We want to double the amount of gleaned fruit from 2500 lbs to 5000 lbs. And we want to double the amount of grown produce from 1000 units to 2000 units. Help support our efforts for local food security and third spaces today.

Get news on upcoming workshops and events, and other pertinent food security and local gardening news and issues.

We’re adding more workshops to our spring schedule all the time, including the exciting “Food Forest Planning” session on Feb 28th with Farmer Brown, and a Food Literacy class at the Bradley Centre, w/ Monica Bradbury. Our mission is to create food literacy and food security education opportunities in the region, so we can all be better versed in growing, preserving and producing our own local foods. Keep an eye on our spaces.
