CONNECTING FARMERS, FARMLAND AND FOOD
We believe that food sustainability is a social, cultural and economic priority. We are committed to protecting agricultural land for future generations. The SSI Farmland Trust is part of a community of organizations intent on increasing food sustainability on Salt Spring Island. In the short term we are all working to put more local food on more Salt Spring Island tables so that everyone gets a taste of the delicious difference between imported food that travels thousands of kilometres compared with field-ripened fresh food that is grown right here at home.
WHAT WE DO
We run three programs on Salt Spring Island. The Root is a food hub that includes a commercial kitchen and a facility for storage and processing of farm produce into value added meals and products. The Burgoyne Valley Community Farm offers 60 acres of fine valley farmland that is leased by farmers, with 90 gardeners growing in a community garden.
