Exciting news! Nanaimo Foodshare, Growing Opportunities Farm Community Co-op and Leadership Vancouver Island (LVI) have partnered with Westwood Farm to support community agriculture activities and restoration of the farm.

The historic Westwood Farm - originally over 1,000 acres in size - was purchased by Joseph Westwood in 1864 and is Nanaimo’s oldest farm. It is close to Westwood and Cathers Lakes, and can be seen from the highway just beyond the SPCA.

The LVI team, dubbed "Connecting Communities", will be partnering with Nanaimo Foodshare as a partner in this restoration process, with participants gaining leadership skills and learning to lead community projects.

The team’s first project will be to build a fenced garden area on the Westwood Farm property. Another focus of the team’s project is to connect the Central Vancouver Island Multicultural Society (CVIMS) with Nanaimo Foodshare, to provide volunteer opportunities for newcomers to become involved with their community through the Westwood Farm. The team feels that the project will help foster a real sense of community for newcomers to the Nanaimo area.

We are inviting the community to participate as volunteers with this great farming project. Check our Events page for dates/times.

(PS That's our team, with Executive Director Jen Cody on the right, using an auger to put in fence posts!). ...

Here at Nanaimo Foodshare, we're very interested in fair trade -- ensuring that products are purchased from people for a fair wage, without exploitative labour practices. That's why we're thrilled that our friends at Global Village Nanaimo have a pop-up store at North Town Centre until April 27. These beautiful market bags are from Ghana and would make a lovely Easter or Mother's Day gift, or just get one for yourself to prep for Farmer's Market season. :-) ...
