Upcoming event: Eco-Farm CSA information meetings
| February 7, 2009 5:30 pm | to | February 8, 2009 5:00 pm |
Two information meetings are coming up in Regina and Saskatoon for people interested in finding out more about a Community Supported Agriculture project in Saskatchewan. CSAs match farmers with (usually) city dwellers, providing both a fair guaranteed income on one side and access to local, healthy food on the other. CSA members purchase a year-long contract that makes them shareholders in a specific farm, which in turn provides them with regular deliveries of local food throughout the year–including meat and eggs, fresh and preserved fruit and vegetables, and other homemade food products.
Keith Neu, an organic farmer near Hudson Bay, started the Eco-Farm CSA project in 2007, which now has about 60 members in Regina and Saskatoon. It is now welcoming new members for 2009, and these information meetings are a perfect opportunity to meet Keith and and current CSA members. Come along and find out how the Eco-Farm CSA works and why people should get involved. Everyone is welcome!
