As part of my orientation to the Board of Directors of the non-profit organization, the Deep Roots Ottawa*, I toured their state of the art root cellar today with Dr. Barry Bruce as my tour guide. It is very fancy! I am looking forward to working with them both as a board member but also to pilot test storing some of Gael Glen Farm's cabbage, onion, and root vegetable crop in the cellar over the winter. Fun on all fronts!
Be sure to check out the Eldon's Open Air Food Market kickoff event this Saturday August 30th in the afternoon (1-5pm) if you are in Carp. This is part of a Deep Roots collaboration to create a weekday farm stand at 405 Donald B. Munro. Some of our cabbages, onions, and other farm produce will be available for purchase!
*The Deep Roots Food Hub is a non-profit, grassroots organization made up of local farmers, market gardeners, health professionals, entrepreneurs and residents of West Carleton committed to creating a more secure and sustainable food system in our communities. Through collaborations with a variety of community partners we are working to launch programs that will make it easier for West Carleton residents to access, grow, and sell affordable, healthy food.
