GREAT NEWS!

We are excited to share news of a food waste reduction project we’ve been working on for some time! We knew we had good food going to the landfill and we wanted to find local partners to help build a solution where we simultaneously divert food away from landfill and build more sustainable communities.  So began our partnership with Loop Resource.

Loop is a Canadian organization which connects local farms with local grocers to safely and efficiently divert food waste from landfills. Loop allows us to take food not suitable for human consumption and pass it along to local farmers for its next best use, as animal feed or compost. Loop handles the logistics and liabilities to make it easy and safe for us to support local farms in this way. Produce, bakery, and other items that are not suitable for sale or donation to charity will now support local farms! Because we know healthy farms support a healthy community.

WE WANT TO HELP YOUR FARM!
Loop is currently looking for farms in the Boundary Co-op trading area. If you have a variety of farm animals, and are interested in getting affordable feed while helping to keep food from being wasted, sign up your farm by emailing newfarms@loopresource.ca
