The Youth and Local Food program connects farmers, students and families through fun events and through provoking workshops.

Did you know that 1/3 of all greenhouse gases come from the food system?  Did you know that the average food item travels 4000 km from field to table!  And yet, there is so much great food being grown just an hour or two from where we live.
