The Oliver Farm experienced a gut wrenching tragedy this week on Prince Edward Island. They were a refuge for abused and helpless livestock and a petting zoo for their community. If you have ever wanted to support a local farm and family, please consider their GoFundMe link in the post. Sending love from Nova Scotia to the Oliver family (human and pet).

How cool is this?!
This phenomenal program has been in the works for months. We’ve been following along and giving some feedback to the MODL team and really, really hope this becomes a reality. The ideas they have are awesome and we think will work really well for the community!
If you’re interested in the new proposed food hub, register below to join the conversation coming up.

The District of Lunenburg is exploring the feasibility of creating a food hub that supports local food security. Food Hubs are centralized facilities that connect and network local farmers, producers, the community, and consumers. The goal is to connect local farmers and food producers with people in the community, helping everyone get access to fresh, affordable food while supporting the local economy.
By streamlining the distribution process, the food hub can ensure efficient delivery of fresh, locally sourced food to various outlets, including healthcare facilities, schools, restaurants, retail stores and more.

This project will explore the best way to set up a space where food can be shared and sold, making sure it works well for both the community and local farmers. We want to make sure that the hub helps provide healthy food for everyone and creates opportunities for local food producers to grow their businesses.

Want to learn more and share your thoughts? Join us on Wednesday, February 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Best Western Bridgewater to learn more about a potential Food Hub. The evening will begin with a presentation of our research, followed by a workshop where we’ll gather your feedback and ideas.

Please RSVP to [email protected] (appreciated, but not required). Can’t make it? You can still share your thoughts online at https://engage.modl.ca/food-hub

If you eat today, thank a farmer.
(Our biggest hope it was a Canadian farm you choose to support.)

We’re celebrating everything and today.

We have learned so much from the Nova Scotian farming community in our 9 years doing this!
Maritime farmers are like no other, they truly want to see the younger generation come back to farming and are willing to support just about anyone in trying.

Maritime farmers passion for sustainable practices and their sharing wisdom has shaped the way WE farm today. Their tales of bouncing back from challenges spark our creativity and push us to work through it and make it to the end of a season.
We’re beyond thankful for the partnerships we’ve built (and continue to build) and can’t wait to keep teaming up while giving back to the land and community.

To see a list of local farms or food producers near you check out Nova Scotia Federation of Agriculture, Meet Your Farmer, Atlantic Canadian Organic Regional Network, Farmers' Markets of Nova Scotia or FarmWorks Investment Co-operative Limited who offer a detailed provincial map.

No matter which farm/market/producer you choose to support, buying local and supporting your community is ALL that matters. Please support your farmers whenever possible.

The best haystack cookie recipe can be found here at Yellow Brick Road Farm:

Storm food prep yesterday included Aunt Judy’s Haystack Cookies. These are the cookies of my childhood: my Aunt Judy, just three years older than me, at the farm, making these and placing them on the counter on worn out waxed paper , where they wouldn’t even make it to the cookie jar before all the family would breeze through grabbing a handful before heading back outside.
Recipe below:
