The Flour Mill Community Farm now has land in Wanup as well as the Ryan Heights neighbourhood of Sudbury, with a pay-what-you-can market selling food for all
In the heart of Ryan Heights, there is a small farm. Tiny, really. But the Flour Mill Community Farm not only teaches volunteers, students and neighbours about how to grow food, but also offers an understanding of the environment, and a pay-what-you-can market to boot.
Of course, a farm is not without its challenges, and this year posed a new problem, even for an experienced gardener like Tough. “We've done a lot of food system education,” said Tough. “We tried to have themes every week, and this year we focused on addressing climate change and learning about regenerative agriculture.”
The owner of Knowhere Public House, Bill Crumplin, bikes the organic waste over from the restaurant’s Elm street location to be added to the pile. “A lot of people don't know how food grows,” she said, “and here, they're seeing all the steps of a farm to farm to market process and just seeing how much food we can be growing on a small scale.”
