About the Food Farm:<
/strong>
The Mosaic Community Food Farm is a one
-acre garden and orchard built from the philosophy that healthy food grown
with love can change lives. The farm is located in the beautiful Wakamow
Valley and is a collaborative effort between local nonprofits and communit
y minded funders. The produce grown at the farm is distributed to five par
tner organizations (Moose Jaw and District Food Bank\, Riverside Mission\,
Hunger in Moose Jaw\, Moose Jaw Transition House and Moose Jaw Multicultu
ral Council). Currently\, these partners have limited access or funds avai
lable to provide recipients with fresh produce. The Mosaic Community Food
Farm is urban\, open to the public and focuses on food security. The farm
is supported by volunteers and engages with various community groups by ho
sting farm tours and educational workshops to help strengthen local food s
ystems and gardening knowledge. The farm is also a model for small-scale a
griculture. Systems are based on a &ldquo\;human-scale&rdquo\; and the far
m uses planting methods that are best suited to the location\, end purpose
and needs of our partner organizations.
