What’s Local This Week
This Week On The Farm
Growing Opportunities is a wonderful team of urban farmers and volunteers dedicated to sharing agricultural skills, growing good food and supporting Nanaimo’s food system. They support the Good Food Box program by providing as much of our produce as possible through the year at discounted rates.
“This past week we got to work transplanting at the Five Acres Farm. Beds are now planted with cabbage, lettuce, celeriac, kale, chard, strawberries and garlic planted last fall.
Thanks to the help of Foodshare’s Cultivating Abilities and Homegrown programs we managed to get kale picked and lots of weeding done!
The Canada geese have taken a liking to our young transplants at The Cline Agri-Health Centre so the crew worked hard to get row cover on all the beds before it’s too late! ”
