Here we grow
The Coombs Farmers' Institute (CFI) 'Here We Grow' project will demonstrate that the enterprise of producing our own food is not only necessary, but easily accomplished and enjoyable.
Using a mixed model of classroom sessions, workshops, hands-on-training in our 'Demonstration and Private Gardens' and mentorships with skilled, experienced, and retiring agriculturalists, we will educate, support and encourage citizens who recognize that being more self-sufficient is something they want to, and should do, but lack the means to get started.
CFI Here We Grow is a 2 year Ministry of Agriculture funded pilot project. The purpose of this initiative is to recreate the food security our communities enjoyed in the past.
