[lofo List] Regina: Local Food and Community Supported Agriculture event (Saturday, Feb. 7)

[hepting@cs.uregina.ca]

You are Invited to a Discussion and Potluck on Local Food and  
Community Supported Agriculture

When: Saturday February 7 at 5:30pm
Where: The Cathedral Neighbourhood Centre, 2900 - 13th Ave., Regina
Cost: Free!

Come out and enjoy great food and learn more about Community Supported  
Agriculture (CSA) and local food in Saskatchewan. Meet Keith Neu, an  
organic farmer who started the "Eco-Farm" Community Supported  
Agriculture project in Saskatchewan in 2007 after being an organic  
farmer since 1989.

Community Supported Agriculture projects like Keith?s promote local,  
healthy food sources. There are many advantages behind becoming a  
member of a CSA project. You can feel good knowing that the food you  
receive has not had to travel very far, thus you are supporting local  
business, encouraging environmentally sustainable farming practices,  
and reducing your carbon footprint all at the same time!  On top of  
that you know you have a reliable source of fresh, organic, and most  
of all - delicious food.  Members become shareholders in the farm by  
signing year-long contracts to receive orders of food once a month in  
the winter and twice a month in the summer. This includes vegetables,  
eggs, chicken and beef, plus a variety of herbs, pickles, sauerkraut  
and homemade perogies (please visit www.reginaecoliving.ca to view the  
contract and produce list)!

The Eco-Farm CSA, which currently has about 60 members in Regina and  
Saskatoon, is welcoming new members for 2009. One of them could be  
YOU!  Do not miss this opportunity to get Organic Saskatchewan grown  
food delivered to your neighbourhood.

Keith Neu will give a background about the Eco-Farm CSA and explain  
how it works and why people should get involved. He and current CSA  
members will also be happy to answer any of your questions regarding  
local food and the CSA!

Everyone is welcome to attend!

Bring a dish to share, your own plate and your own cutlery. Please  
note that the potluck is optional and that you are welcome to come by  
anytime during the evening.
