There's a saying that "Transition is not a spectator sport". It's true! Village Vancouver runs on people power, and engaging in activities and projects together helps us accomplish more. Which groups, networks, neighbourhood villages, or projects do you think you might be interested in getting involved with? And what knowledge, skills, resources or other assets can you bring to the mix? (Don't be bashful!)
I offer 10 years of organic farming experience to help you get the best and tastiest vegetables.

My experience: Spent seven years farming an organic 2 acre garden and orchard in the West Kootenay’s, British Columbia. 
Currently, I am into the third season farming a certified organic mixed vegetable farm Delta, British Columbia (Earthwise Farm)

I also have in depth knowledge of seed and vegetable varieties from experience working with West Coast Seeds
I agree to read and abide by the Site Guidelines under the About tab on the navigation bar, remaining respectful in all communications on this web site.
