Initiatives

Working with community partners and area residents already involved in local food projects, our initiatives aim to provide the leadership and facilitation required to expand and strengthen local food production as well as consumer demand for locally-produced foods.  

Among our current initiatives:

Chicken and Eggs: Understanding the Regulations	Local Poultry Abattoir Study
Roots to Harvest	Learning Gardens	Northern Gardens Project
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)	Brule Creek Farms' Grain Mill
Regional Community Gardens	Superior Beef Project
Publication:  Gardening with Short Growing Seasons	Impact Study:  Environmental Contaminants and Traditional Food Sources
October 2009 Release of Agricultural Impact Studies	Thunder Bay Fruit Tree Project

The FSRN has also been involved in a series of engaging and rewarding work as part of our Community Service Learning program.
