THANK YOU TO OUR FARMERS! It's always good to have a reminder to send a note, write a review, shake their hand!
Tag a farmer and let people know about them! Say thank you here or on their own social media or in an email to them. Lift their spirits and let them know we appreciate their perseverance!
It is not easy growing food yet it is often very rewarding. It is also vital and there are many challenges already this year, both locally and globally!
This video is of our efforts to grow food here for the community at the @tsasalmonarm Lighthouse Community Food Forest. There will be challenges but we are going for it! We will need help and if you can sign up to be a volunteer, however that will suit you, that would be great! Email to our Food Forest designer Keli Westgate of @lekkerlanddesign
Thanks to Rebecca of @crannogales who started our 35 tomatoes that we DIDNT plant yesterday due to the unseasonably cool weather and that silly wind! so they will sit and get bigger waiting for the day they will join the food forest!
Thank you #shuswapfarmers and food producers for continuing to steward the land and help us to be well fed. We are blessed to be here at this time. Support and #buylocal ! #eatlocalshuswap

Our planting event planned for tomorrow at the Lighthouse Food Forest in Salmon Arm is going to have to be rescheduled due to continued cool and wet weather 🙁 Right now it's looking like May 26th might be the new date. Apologies to all who had the plan to come help, hopefully next week will be warmer and drier and more conducive to putting tomatoes and peppers out.
Planting Party at the Salmon Arm Ministries - The Salvation Army Lighthouse Community Food Forest this Wednesday from 2-5pm!
Lots to do and many hands make light work!
Bring along a pair of gloves if you'd like, a drink and a desire to help our community thrive!
We'd love to know if you're able to come so please shoot Keli of Lekker Land Design an email at keli@lekkerlanddesign.ca
Plenty to learn, plenty to watch grow and change. Be a part of the solutions!

Supporting our #shuswapfarmers while providing a hand up to 62 local households with our Shuswap Food Action SHUBox Family Boxes!
Once a month, many steps take place to put together this box (and bags) of fresh, nutritious, local food which are provided to families and individuals who benefit from the support.
We are building capacity here in the #shuswap and want to be the BEST customers for our farmers and food producers! When we can create projects that buy local and can have consistency for growers, they can plan to grow more, knowing we're there to buy. Our farmers need to have all of our support to encourage their continued efforts to provide us such beautiful food.
This is one aspect of this project - a large part. The other is the firmly held belief that EVERYONE should have access to this quality of food. Food security means that we have access, availability and affordability of food at all times. Next is abundance. Let's all work on that!
We're so grateful for the financial support received for this project as well as for the volunteers who show up month after month to help set up, assemble, deliver for those who need and staying until the last SHUBox is picked up!
