Hi Michael. Yes, the plan is to create a co-op in Maple Ridge that is accessible to everyone in the community. We will work with British Columbia Co-op association. The vision is to open a storefront in or close to the town core. We are in the stage of creating a committee and would love a few more motivated people. Once we have this group, the next step is arranging an organizing meeting.

Add it as a comment to the list. Can you teach something? Ditto.Think small: Kitchen table instead of conference room. I imagine the CEED Centre will allow us to use their space, but some seminars…See More

Jennifer Zickerman posted a blog postWanted: One Forever Farm
There is a disconnect.On the one hand, there are many people - more and more all the time, it seems - who want to farm. Small-scale, local, organic, sustainable - many people have this dream.I think the dream is also about having "real" work, work that makes your muscles tired at the end of the day, work that connects you to community and to nature.Not that I have this dream myself or anything.…See More
