Help Keep the Flour Mill Community Farm Growing!

The Flour Mill Community Farm needs your support. The government program that helped us hire local youth each summer has been cancelled, and no replacement funding has been announced. This sudden loss has left a major gap in our budget, and we’re turning to our community to help us close it.

With your help, we can continue providing meaningful summer jobs for young people and fresh, healthy food for our neighbourhood.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors—Chris Gavard and Greg Cantin Financial Advisors, Responsible Mining Solutions, Northern Credit Union, Ontario Power Generation, and Sudbury Credit Union—we’re already off to our strongest fundraising year ever. But we’re not there yet.

We urgently need to raise $15,000 to hire two more summer students and expand our staff hours to keep our youth employment and food security programs running strong through the 2025 season.

Every donation, big or small, helps. Please give what you can today.

💚 Donate online at rethinkgreen.ca/donate

💚 Or send an e-transfer to [email protected]

Together, we can keep the farm growing for everyone.

reThink Green's programs are only possible through support from our community. Help us continue to champion positive change in Northern Ontario!

Starting the Season Right: Cucumber Seedlings Kick Off Urban Farming in Sudbury

The growing season is officially underway at Flour Mill Community Farm!
We’re starting strong with a fresh batch of cucumber seedlings, carefully germinated indoors to make the most of Greater Sudbury’s short growing window. 🥒🌿

Why start early?
Because healthy, productive urban farms begin long before planting day. By growing seedlings indoors, we:
✔️ Extend our growing season
✔️ Maximize crop yield and quality
✔️ Support our local food security goals

These cucumbers will be transplanted to our urban farm in the Flour Mill neighbourhood, where they’ll help feed families, support food literacy, and build a greener, more resilient Sudbury.

From seed trays to soil, our team is committed to growing fresh, local, and sustainable produce for our community.

Follow our journey this season as we grow together—literally.
