"This is way more fun than grocery shopping!"

"I'm eating a lot healthier thanks to By The Bushel!"

By the Bushel Community Food Co-operative

We are now in full swing for the 2010 season. If you would like more information about winter baskets or next year please email us.

We have some exciting events happening for our members of By the Bushel. Some of which include:

Farm tours - Come and visit three of your producer farms and see where your food is grown. On August 29th, three of our farmers will open their farms for us to see where the food we have been enjoying came from. Memebers are invited to join us at Sunroot Organics, Chick-a-Biddy and Circle Organics. Times and maps to the farms will be provided closer to the date.

Thank-you to the Farmers pot luck - where consumer members feed the farmers - this will take place on or around the last depot day.

Wild Rice Workshop - learn how to harvest wild rice - a date in October will be confirmed soon.

Your Annual General Meeting - get involved in your Coop and join us at your AGM. Date will be around the end of November or early December.
