We are a new project, just getting started, that was seeded by a grassroots fellowship community project grant and in collaboration with our local parks district. Our goal is to inspire our community's children to eat better, preserve farm land, and get involved with their community.

Ontario Edible Education Network

Across Ontario, Canada, people are doing great work to connect children and youth with good food.

The Ontario Edible Education Network has been established to bring these groups together to share resources, ideas, and experience, to work together on advocacy, and to make it easier for people across Ontario to get children and youth eating, growing, cooking, celebrating, and learning about healthy, local and sustainably produced food.

Slide Ranch

Slide Ranch Mission
The mission of Slide Ranch is to connect children to nature. Slide Ranch teaches visitors the impact our choices have on food, health, and the environment, through hands-on activities and independent exploration of our farm and coastal wild lands.

Every bite of food connects us to the soil, sun, water, and air, and to the people who work to feed us. Slide Ranch teaches respect and responsibility for sustaining these connections.

Create Common Good

 Create Common Good uses food to change lives and build healthy communities. Our vision is a healthy community where people have access to empowerment, employment, self-sufficiency and access to healthy food. We use access to healthy food to positively change people's lives by harnessing the community's resources to build lasting systems that provide employment and self-sufficiency. Our training programs all prepare at-risk, underserved populations to find, perform, and retain work with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency in our community.
