This part of BC has a history of organic farming in rich soil and fine weather. The garden is nestled between large mountains and has two greenhouses, out buildings, and the beginnings of a community kitchen. With an orchard of fruit trees, irrigated plots of garlic, potatoes, melons, and various vegetables, they aim to have a bountiful year with help from volunteers.
