We harvested our Efo (Amaranth) crop. It grew really well and we also have harvested lots of seed for the upcoming seasons for our farm and to share with the community.
We have prepared the space in the goat area and have started the build of our new goat shelter, which will be an addition to our current barn creating a separate space for our birthing and new moms and babies away from the rest of the herd.
Our planters have been prepped for incubating seeds, and a space has been allocated for our greenhouse build.
It has been wonderful to have many community members visit the farm this Summer to take a tour, learn about what we are doing, and sample some of our crop. Weekly, we have many people connecting with us who want to participate in the Canadian Black Farmers movement with us! This is amazing and we see how what we are doing is inspiring our community and how much of a need there is for culturally appropriate farming and food.
We had a very exciting meeting with the Mission Food Coalition, and we are happy to be invited to join in this important group focusing on food security, sustainability in food and farming and culturally informed and appropriate food and farming.
Goat Banking investment spots are available. Please ask us about this if you want to become a goat farmer with us. We do all the work and the community reaps the benefit.
