Vert-à-Go

Vert-à-Go was started to help people in Saskatoon find, grow, and enjoy sustainable, organic, local, and ethical food.

Where and when can you get it? How can you grow your own? And what do you do with it once you’ve got it? Find out here!

Susan Pederson is a freelance writer and editor living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. She grew up on a mixed farm 50 miles south of the city, where she learned the gentle art of chicken wrangling and saw firsthand how food gets from garden, field, and barn to plate. After university she spent seven years in London, where she learned from her cockney butcher that bison meat sold in England is ‘absolutely diabolical’. She ate haggis and spotted dick, but passed on the mushy peas and deep fried Mars Bars. She returned to Saskatoon in 1999, and has spent the following nine years whipping her garden (a former gravel driveway) into shape, and transforming her front lawn into a shade vegetable garden with herb spiral. She launched Vert-à-Go in March 2008.
