The issues of climate change and food security have long been concerns of our farm's co-op members. Now, amidst COVID-19's impacts the importance of strong, resilient farms feeding our communities is more evident than ever. As Canadian farmers face the short-term shocks of COVID-19 and the long-term impacts of climate change, we are excited to support a plan to recover from the pandemic that could help farmers take on the climate crisis, too. As a member of Farmers For Climat...e Solutions - Fermiers pour la transition climatique, our farmers have been working with colleagues across the country to identify solutions. Stay tuned to our pagewe’re excited to share these recommendations with you! In the meantime, check out the Farmers for Climate Solutions website to learn about this coalition! https://farmersforclimatesolutions.ca/

Farmer Shirlene from Earth Apple Organic Farm commenting on the 100-Mile Diet anniversary and COVID.

It’s been rainy. Very rainy. At Earth Apple Organic Farm we have harvested 3 of our 18 varieties of garlic now and we are doing our best to start the curing process, but the cool wet air is not favourable. Nor are the harvesting conditions. Please everyone call for sunshine! . We will be bringing our uncured #purpleglazer #newmountaingarlic to @vanmarkets #rileyparkfm and #troutlakefm tomorrow. #purpleglazer #uncuredgarlic #greasyfresh #farmcircleorganics #certifiedorganic #newmountaingarlic #buybc @ayearofoctobers @glenvalleyorganicfarm
