HEALTHY FOODS, HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Imagine a garden that yields healthy foods and helps to grow a strong and healthy community.
Imagine a space in the heart of Central Huron where people can gather together as families, friends and neighbors, to celebrate agriculture, health, and community.
Imagine a project that teaches children, youth, and adults why food matters and how sustainable agriculture can nurture the land while feeding our bodies.

DO YOU LOVE LOCAL FOOD?
At REACH Huron we are passionate about healthy food, healthy farming, and healthy communities. Thanks to a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation we have been fortunate enough to spend the last several months working with consultants, experts, and community members to come up with a plan for facilities and programs that can improve local food access and provide food related education.
We’d like to know how food related facilities and programs at the centre could benefit you and your family.
If you love food, and feel that how your food is grown and how far it travels is important then please take a moment to fill in the survey below about how programs offered at REACH could improve your ability to access healthy, local foods. Would you like to see a farmers market in your community? What about a local food coop? Tell us what you think:
