Deep Roots Food Hub Wins!!!!!
We have been awarded a grant by Desjardin! Now we need help from you! On Desjardins Facebook page there is a post of our project - we need you to "like" it. The goal of this is to receive the most likes to be awarded an extra $5,000 to our grant. Furthermore we will be needing extra volunteers for everything from building storage shelves and a water tower to operating a two wheel tractor and other farm machinery, tending crops and electrical work for installing a solar heat pump.
