Madrona Farm

This is something I've been meaning to blog about for several weeks, but keep getting distracted. When Ry and I went to visit his mom in Victoria, BC last year, we stopped at a little roadside food stand where they buy a lot of their produce, Madrona Farm. The island of Victoria has tons of little sustainable and eco-friendly farms.

The landowners have recently decided to sell the land, which will likely spell the end of Madrona. Jo and Mike have gotten involved with the Friends of Madrona Society, who are attempting to purchase the land and save the farm. Saving Madrona Farm will be posting video podcasts documenting the fight to save Madrona Farms. Read and tell people about this project, and if you're inclined, help in the fight.

Thanks Jenn for the endorsement. Friends of Madrona Farm are passionate about their fresh local produce. Everyone everywhere should be visiting their local farm gate markets. The produce is totally different than in the supermarket - it's acutally fresh and has flavor, and someday, it may be our only reliable source of food.
