Our Projects
Growing Grass Roots
The very first vegetable garden was harvested in 1982. Developed as a way to address hunger and malnutrition in the local community, this town wide food drive brings together hundreds of our members with community volunteers and those in need. The food collected goes to benefit 20 local food banks.
A tradition in the community, our Garden Harvest has spread its roots around the town. Over the years, we have also begun accepting cash donations, kitchen fixtures, and cooking supplies. This year, we are excited to announce a distribution competition. We are sourcing ideas from the community to better get our 8 tonnes of produce to those who need it most.
This year’s Grass Roots Garden Harvest is set for Saturday, October 21st. If you would like more information about the Garden Harvest, or would like to make a donation please contact us at GrowRoots@GardenHarvest.org.
Our biggest community service project this year is the installation of a community garden and cookout campsite families of Anityville, Ontario. We are tilling the soil in April, and laying our BBQ Pits in May. Lend a hand anytime this summer, as we create a renewable space for community gatherings.
Teach your children about agriculture, generosity, and the value of teamwork. We all grow better together.
