Why We Grow

eat

Eat

Eat fresh. Eat tasty. Eat healthy. You can either pay your farmer now, or pay your pharmacist later. As the great philosopher Hippocrates is famously quoted saying, ”Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

fresh

Fresh

Imported produce is picked weeks before it is ripe, and as a result, nutrients, taste, texture, and colour have not fully developed. 24 to 48 hours after harvest, 50-89% of vitamin C is lost from leafy vegetables, and bagged spinach loses about half its folate and carotenoids after being stored in refrigeration for just 4 days.

local

Local

The ingredients of a single North American meal travels an average of 2,400 km to get from field to plate and contains ingredients from 5 countries in addition to our own. Eating a meal sourced from a local farmer creates 100 times less greenhouse gas emissions to get onto your plate.

veggies

Veggies

The very soil that food is grown on is vital to our local agricultural economy. Eating locally grown vegetables supports farmers and protects precious farmland by keeping it in production. People who include fresh vegetables as part of their daily diet have a reduced risk of many chronic diseases.

“If you are looking for fresh, I mean really fresh, vegetable produce…check out Access Acres operated by Andrew Dunn. Here is a young entrepreneur who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty, & working hard to produce lovely vegetables for your summer & fall meals. His mixed greens were fantastic, along with his finger carrots, deep coloured kale, & mouth watering vine tomatoes. He has an assortment of seasonal vegetables he includes which are wonderful to use. On top of all of this, he includes excellent foolproof, unique recipes to try with the vegetable in his boxes. He’s reasonable priced and offers the vegetable boxes every other week. Andrew’s vegetables boxes are a must seek at McTavish Academy of Art Centre.” -Pat + Doug Montgomery
