greenhouse in Revelstoke?

A Greenhouse Feasibility Study was conducted this summer to look into the viability of developing a greenhouse for our community. 

A greenhouse is a great way to have the community involved all year round, potentially provide opportunities for small-scale farmers to sell their harvests, and most of all to increase our food security!

Check out the feasibility study here. If you are interested in hearing more, please contact info@revelstokelocalfood.com.

ABOUT Food Security

tools.png

Food Security, a term that encompasses our access to healthy, sustainable and affordable food, has become an important topic in recent years. There is a growing trend towards all things local, fresh and home-grown. The LFI sees the potential to nurture this trend as it benefits our health, our economy, our earth and our culture. Through education, facilitation and advocacy we will empower the community to enhance local food production and utilization.
