Grow More Food Here: Support Food Producers Forum

Most of the food Newfoundland and Labrador eats comes in on one supply line from thousands of kilometers away, nutritionally depleted and increasingly expensive.

At Food Producers Forum, we believe this province can grow far more of its own food, and we're working on it:

• Earth-sheltered greenhouses: a marriage between the root cellar and the standard greenhouse, built into the ground to grow deep into the year. Two are going up now, in Chapel Arm and Glenburnie-Birchy Head-Shoal Brook.

• The Provincial Food Network Co-operative: connecting food producers from Labrador to the Avalon so they can find each other, share tools and resources, and sell more locally.

• Waste Not!: a cross-sector symposium on wasted food.

• Where's the Food?: a province-wide survey of community food production.

• Skills workshops: hands-on sessions in communities right across the province this fall.

That work is part of what earned us a seat at the table for the province's upcoming 10-year agriculture strategy.

Where your money goes: project grants pay for projects. They don't pay for the coordination, office and staff time that hold everything together. That’s why we’re asking for your help – your donation supports that core work, the part that makes all the projects possible.

Pitch in, and please share this with anyone who cares about where their food comes from: https://gofund.me/9df10179d.
