Local food suppliers for PDC
Food for the Permaculture Design Certification Course in May 2012 was sourced as much as possible from local suppliers.
The acquiring of much of the fresh food was a way for some members as well as other local growers and producers to show their support for the Permaculture Couse in particular as well as the Blockhouse School project in general.
Some gave what they could, others provided key ingredients to many a tasty meal. Some contributions were so abundant, such as Rumtopf Farm, that they surpassed my wildest dreams. Wanda should be crowned our Garden Goddess extraordinaire — at least that’s how I now refer to her at the Lunenburg Farmers’ Market. I know she had much support from her son in the picking of the delicious greens and amazing Bordeaux Spinach.
