Supporting A.R.C Community Project through plant purchases is a win-win situation because getting into the garden is a great way to alleviate stress and create more wellness in your life! If you’ve never started before – it’s easy! All you have to do is be willing to make friends with a plant, and take it home.

COME TO THE MARKET on May 13 from 12PM-5PM. We’re so excited for A.R.C Community Project to be housed at Common Ground Farm!

There’ll be veggie and meat hot dogs, slurpees, music, treats and incredible market items handcrafted by ARC kids, bring your friends and family!

Two days ago, a decision was made to allow new genetically engineered (GE) seeds to be released into Canada without a mandatory disclosure system.

From Canadian Organic Growers:
"Organic farmers require mandatory disclosure of gene-edited seeds. To maintain their certification, organic farmers must be able to prove that the seeds they use are free from any contamination, including genetic engineering which is prohibited in the Canadian Organic Standards. Under this new voluntary system announced by Canada, organic farmers will not be able to meet this requirement and face the significant risk of losing their certification by inadvertently using undisclosed GE seed products. Farmers have the right to choose to grow food that meets the needs of their consumer without fear of contamination by undisclosed genetic engineered seed products."
