Produce Box Program: This is a community-run program aimed at increasing accessibility of fruits and veggies to encourage healthy eating. The sign-up form can be found on the website’s home page every Saturday, and pickup happens on Wednesday between 12:00-1:30pm at 2670 Victoria Drive. The produce box includes 7-9 different fruits and vegetables, and may include extra donated items from our wholesaler. Anyone can sign up! The cost is $0-10 sliding scale depending on what you are able to afford. This is a self-selecting system and shoppers do not need to explain the rate they choose, we trust that people understand their own circumstances and income and can participate in contributing a fair and realistic amount for themselves.

Seedy Saturday at Kensington Library: In collaboration with the Kensington branch of the Vancouver Public Library, we started a seed sharing library in the fall of 2013. Throughout each growing season, we will be hosting gardening workshops on a variety of topics. So far, our workshops have covered seed saving, starting from seed, specialty gardening, companion planting, and permaculture. Check out the Seedy Saturday events at: http://www.vpl.ca/location/kensington-branch

Kingcrest Community Garden: The Cedar Cottage Food Network worked with local residents and the Park Board to develop and build a community garden at Kingcrest Park at Knight and Kingsway in the fall of 2014.
