LOCAL FOOD PROGRAMS
LOCAL FOOD MAP
Powell River Farmers' Agricultural Institute organized a local food map, which you can use to locate farmers in the area. Using the local food map, you can search for specific products and easily find the farm's location.
SKOOKUM GLEANERS
The Skookum Gleaners project rescues food that would otherwise go to waste and makes sure that this food reaches those who need it. "Our main activity is putting together teams of volunteer pickers to save fruit (and sometimes nuts) from people’s trees, bushes, or vines. We share this harvest among the pickers, the tree-owners, and those in need in our region. The shared harvest supports regional food self-sufficiency by connecting those who have excess produce on their properties with those who have the time and energy to harvest it."
