Through our work, a very important initiative is now available to support our local farmers. The KFSP, through funding from the Community Food Action Initiative and Interior Health, has inventoried the farmers, market gardeners and food producers to create a West Kootenay Food Directory. We have also inventoried the retail outlets, whether a farmers market, restaurant or grocery store that support local foods. These resources will engage a more vibrant market for local foods produced, help connect farmers to local markets, and work with them in whatever capacity we can to increase their ability to feed our community.
