ÉDS Local Food Initiative
What is this all about?
The goal of this initiative is to guide families towards more sustainable food choices, let's buy local!
Families and students have shared information on what they've learned living on their family farm, or growing up around their family food sales business.
Click the links below to learn what our students are growing/farming/selling!
Why choose local food?
- Buying local food supports the farming families of Springfield
- Buying local keeps our hard-earned money in our community and supports the local economy
- Manitoba farmers are held to high environmental sustainability practices
- Less shipping distance & less packaging means a decreased carbon footprint
- Knowing your farmer means you know how they treat their workers, animals, and land
Want to join this initiative?
