ACORN is having a fundraising organic supper at The Cedar Tree Cafe in downtown Fredericton on Tuesday, September 24. Buy your ticket before Friday if you can, because that gives them an idea what numbers they need.
Times have changed, sure — but one thing is likely to always be true: people gotta eat.
And the quality of food a person puts in his or her body directly affects how they live.
New Brunswick and all of the Maritimes have a great legacy of growing food, and we’ve all learned more about better ways of doing so. That legacy, however, is growing older, and it’s the mission of organizations like ACORN to help preserve the knowledge we have gained, and pass it along to a new generation of organic farmers.
I had a pleasant conversation with Lucia Stephen, the Program Coordinator of ACORN‘s Grow A Farmer initiative, where we talked about the history and future of organic farming, and what their organization does to bridge between the two.
