Hello Calgary!
We are proud to announce the launch of Calgary's first single site urban farm, Locavore. We are a local father and son team, practicing SPIN (Small Plot Intensive) farming. While not certified organic, we practice all organic gardening methods and do not use chemicals of any kind. We call this shadow organic to differentiate!
Our farm is located on a quiet suburban street in Tuscany, on land donated by Carma development group (many thanks) and is dedicated to the local food movement. Our mission is to produce healthy, organic food within the city limits, with the lowest possible carbon-footprint.
For the 2010 season, we will be selling our produce primarily at the blackfoot outdoor farmers market, as well as donating to the calgary food bank, on behalf of ourselves and Carma.
Our current industrial food system is unsustainable and flawed, and we are striving for a more resilient local food shed that will feed and nourish all.
This post is the tip of the iceberg, we will be updating it regularly so be sure to check back!
