Lots growing on the Burin Peninsula! And yet another Community Garden!
All ages at Corner Brook 1st Farmers' Market, June 2009
1. Check out NL Farmers’ Section. We have updated the list of organic and environmentally-sustainable farms in NL including CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) programs. Many local farms also operate farm gate sales.
2. CONGRATULATIONS Don Bragg: Winner of the Eastern Farmer’s Co-op $50 gift certificate draw for his participation in ACORN-NL’s first ever NL Organic Industry Survey. Thank you to all those who participated in the survey. And thank you to Eastern Farmer’s Co-op and store manager Peter MacIntyre for the gift certificate. A brief report of survey findings will be made available soon.
