The proposed North Slocan Community Greenhouse project is being designed to significantly contribute to the North Slocan‘s food self-reliance by improving access to fresh, nutritious food, and to serve as a catalyst for other initiatives that support regional food sustainability in the West Kootenays of British Columbia. We will achieve this by growing and extending the seasonal availability and affordability of a variety of locally popular produce; and by forming a producer-consumer co-op to build strong relationships around growing, selling, processing, celebrating, and eating local food.
