If anyone needs land or has land to share please visit Sharing Backyards, a program which started with city farmer, and is available all over the world. Here is the link for Vancouver: http://www.sharingbackyards.com/browse/Vancouver,BC&welcome_box=3# We found a few yards using this program.

You are all very welcome at my place - 2 minutes walk from Kiwassa.

We have 4 chickens and a big food garden.

I work at Kiwassa Neighbourhood House as a Food Program Coordinator and have started local food day once a month in the Daycare. I am wondering if anyone knows a backyard chicken or chicken farmer that could come and talk to the kids...maybe bring a chicken or can we come and look in your backyard??


 


We are at Oxford Street and Nanaimo...so we will serve chicken that day and local veggies.


 


If you have ideas about people or places to take the kids that would be great

Hi Michelle,

It's just getting started. It's part of the neighbourhood transition village (just sent you an invite) - each neighbourhood village is also a neighbourhood food network.

 

Cheers,

Ross

VV convenor

Discussion Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

48 discussions

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
