Earth Day
Hopefully earth day makes you think of food! With so many great local options showing up on our store, at the Country Market, or at True North Community Co-op – you have great choices already this season to support local agriculture.

Caribou Restaurant is also having a Earth Day theme tonight by offering mostly local specials! Check it out HERE. I think there’s still lots of space available AND each diner gets a $10 coupon for Belluz Farms Garden Centre and a package of heirloom/organic garden seeds!

One of the media themes lately has been the idea that we need to produce more and more food for a growing middle class around the world. In reality, we waste close to 50% of the food farmers produce due to the distribution systems involved and the desire to have everything available everywhere whenever anyone might decide they want it. Maybe instead of just growing more, we can do more with what we grow already?

In the Garden
The first greens are coming out of greenhouses now, the farm animals are having their babies, the soil is loose and ready…(okay 2 out of 3 isn’t bad). While this weather seems daunting, it hasn’t impacted the growing season yet. With a frost free date still far away in early June, there’s only a few things that you could really plant soon anyways. Check our our seed starting pamphlet for more info – it’s free to download and there’s some great seeds available online too.
