Deep Roots Food Hub

Connecting Small-Scale Farmers, Families and Local Food

news:

The outdoor market KICK OFF event held on July 30th in Carp was a HUGE SUCCESS!

The event marks the beginning of a new market to support local growers and the community.  We are actively looking for GROWERS in the Huntley and surrounding areas to become vendors with our ONLINE MARKETPLACE.

The marketplace will feature fresh produce grown locally by vendors OF ALL SIZES.  If you grow in your backyard or would like to start growing...we can help with this!  From education to actual seeds and planting guidelines we'll get your garden producing delicious and nutritious vegetables for sale!

MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW ON OUR NEW PROJECT FOR A SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEM!
