Spotlight on Jessey Njau, farm manager at @zawadif

Spotlight on Jessey Njau, farm manager at @zawadifarm in Toronto!

Zawadi Farm aims to create physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food and to engage community members in educational opportunities and conversations centered around active and healthy living.

They rehabilitate Toronto backyards and convert them into living growing spaces for nutrient-rich, organic locally grown seasonal vegetables.

They offer a beautiful CSA program for delivery or pickup, and Farmer Jessey has also written a book on his journey from working in the tech industry to farming! Learn more about Zawadi Farm and pick up Jessey’s book at www.zawadi.farm ❤️

You’re invited to a socially-distanced outdoor Land Social at @pendleton_farm in Courtenay, BC! If you’re curious about what land matching and sharing is all about, join us for the event.

Be inspired and learn about the incredible farming that can be done on leased land! Sarah started Pendleton Farm in the fall of 2019, and has been busy producing mixed vegetables for her own CSA program, the Cumberland farmers’ market, the Comox Bay Farmstand, and local restaurants ever since.

We will tour the farm, enjoy a catered meal, and take a dive into the steps to building a successful farm on leased land. We will explore what farming on leased land is like and learn about how the B.C. Land Matching Program can help you find the perfect piece of land for you to build your dream farm business – or the perfect farmer for your land. Your regional Land Matcher will share information and answer questions about land matching and how leasing land works. Both farmers seeking land and farmland holders thinking about leasing land are encouraged to attend – as well as anyone who loves food, farming, and getting out onto the land!

We are excited to announce that in 2021, in addition to Alberta, we will be expanding the Young Agrarians Apprenticeship program into Saskatchewan and Manitoba. 🎉

We are actively seeking farms and ranches in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to join our program and grow the next generation of regenerative agriculture practitioners.

We are looking for farmers who are dedicated stewards of the land; are skilled and enthusiastic teachers who have a passion for mentoring young and aspiring farmers; and have a farm philosophy that recognizes the connectedness of the land and people.

If you have been thinking about adding apprentices to your farm or if you already host them but would like support, get in touch!

You’re invited to a socially-distanced outdoor Land Social at @digable.roots in Duncan, BC! 🦆 If you’re curious about what land matching and sharing is all about, join us for the event.

Be inspired and learn about the incredible farming that can be done on leased land! Meg and Callum are Digable Roots – a new farm in the Cowichan Valley that grows a variety of mixed vegetables, fruits and herbs, and raises ducks and chickens for meat and eggs. Farmers Meg and Callum also raise ten pigs in collaboration with the land owners, Val and Alan. They are preparing their farm to supply their new food cart this coming spring and will be using the flavours of the farm to create delicious sandwiches, soups and salads.

We will tour the farm, enjoy a catered meal, and take a dive into the steps to building a successful farm on leased land. We will explore what farming on leased land is like and learn about how the B.C. Land Matching Program can help you find the perfect piece of land for you to build your dream farm business – or the perfect farmer for your land. Your regional Land Matcher will share information and answer questions about land matching and how leasing land works. Both farmers seeking land and farmland holders thinking about leasing land are encouraged to attend – as well as anyone who loves food, farming, and getting out onto the land!

Pink amaranth forest by Elmo of @myurbanfarm 💖

Pink amaranth forest by Elmo of @myurbanfarm 💖

“It’s my passion to grow food and raise animals. I sell seeds to raise money for my never ending farm projects. This year has been challenging but I will harvest, clean and dry the seeds and they will be available for planting next season.”

Elmo planted the amaranth in early spring, and grows it for its flowers, leaves, and seeds.
