Photo Above: Lester’s Farm Market, Newfoundland I am guilty of wondering if the grass is greener elsewhere. Having worked for many years to connect students with local growers in Vancouver’s urban setting, I have often mulled over our successes and challenges. I have read of initiatives elsewhere with twinges of envy, despite knowing others do the...

Scaling up Through Food Procurement Learning Labs

December 9, 2015, ,
Newfoundland, a province known as The Rock, is not known for its farmland but is known for its culinary creativity and for making the most of resources on the edge of the Atlantic.  When the School Lunch Association, a charitable school food service provider on the Avalon Peninsula, decided to join the local food movement,...

Reconnecting with our Culture Through Local Foods

October 13, 2015, ,
Beyond connecting with local farms and farmers, Haida Gwaii schools are incorporating hunting, gathering, foraging, gardening and greenhouses into their schools’ food supply. This idea emerged naturally in a place where wild foods are so plentiful and the culture of feasting and sharing food is central to the island culture. This remote archipelago along the...

F2S Salad Bars Take Root in New Brunswick

September 9, 2015, ,
Salad bars in schools.

Farm to Cafeteria Canada (F2CC) is championing the same model in...

Farming School Grounds

May 15, 2015, , ,
Photo: Yun Leong Something shifted in 2010.  Two cities that had been overcoming barriers to school gardens and getting local foods in classrooms now found themselves starting farms on school grounds. These farms added one more educational and food production tool to the complicated puzzle of Farm to School. Some wondered if school farms would be...

Not Your Typical Cooking Class

February 24, 2015, ,

This is a reminder to those who have a little more to remember those with a little less. Maybe you know an elderly neighbour, a single mom, or a wanderer in your community who may not have anyone to celebrate with this Thanksgiving. Reaching out with the offer of a warm meal may do more than just fill a belly; it can provide an evening in a safe space for someone for whom this may not always be certain, a place of belonging, the feeling of being cared for and included🍛For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me ~ Matthew 25:35,36 ...
