MEET YOUR FARMERS
We are Dan + Miche the farmers behind Flourish MicroFarm, and we thought it was high time to introduce ourselves again!
We have been passionate about growing microgreens for nearly 7 years, but it all started when we were trying to come up with ways to feed our community through the winter months. Being that we live in the mountains.... in Canada.... our outdoor growing season typically runs from April through October (ish). But if we are going to really get into the idea of building and contributing to a "sustainable" community or region, we absolutely need to discuss what the heck we are eating in the winter.
In our minds, we cannot truly be a sustainable community or region if the vast majority of our food that we eat from November - April is imported from other countries. Throughout the pandemic, and through many major climate events that have happened around us recently, it has become extremely apparent that food supply both internationally, provincially, and even locally is not as secure as we maybe thought it was - we can all agree on that, right?
So we have become more determined than ever to work even harder to make sure that our community and surrounding area can always access the good, healthy food we all deserve. What started out as a passion for providing nutritious local food in the winter has now blossomed into something that our communities and region needs.
That is why we have expanded our winter delivery CSA program to once again include an add-on program where our members can add on local veggies, fruit, eggs, meat, honey and more every single week!! So not only will they be receiving our delicious certified organic nutrient-dense microgreens, but our members can purchase add-ons to have a full food box delivered on a weekly basis. And all of the food available for add-ons comes from our growing collective of BC farmers over at the rooted table co.
So what are you waiting for!? Don't delay!
The deadline to get signed up for our first winter microgreens session is this Tuesday!! You can find all of the information and get signed up through the link in the comments below.
Drop a comment below and tell us what you are most looking forward to through our winter program, or ask us a question! We can't wait to hear from you and to welcome you to our fresh delivery route!!
