BOOTS N ROOTS PERMACULTURE FARM FARMER: KELLY RAYE

Boots ‘n’ Roots works really hard at building a healthy, vibrant soil with lots of beneficial microbes, resulting in some of the most nutritious food in the Valley. Healthy soil results in healthy plants and healthy people. BNR is one of the few organic market garden farms in the Cowichan Valley that practices true Permaculture techniques. This is a step up from traditional organic, and is the most sustainable and regenerative way to grow our food! We never use tractors or other heavy machinery, and practice a ‘no till’ method, where a lot of effort is put into creating a healthy soil food web - loaded with beneficial

micro-organisms, fungi, and minerals. We make all our compost and fertilizers from scratch right here on the farm. We grow over 30 different veggies, herbs and berries Our CSA program is a ‘You Choose’ model, which works like a reloadable card. You get what veggies you want, when you want them! Great for people who would like to have choices. We grow 12 months a year, so veggies are available year round! www.bootsnrootsfarm.com

MICHELLE ROSE CSF FISHERMAN: Guy Johnston

Do you want to eat tasty, locally and sustainably caught seafood and help support local fishermen involved in sustainable fisheries? Become a member in the Michelle Rose Community Supported Fishery (CSF). A community supported fishery

is direct fair trade between fisherman and consumer. As a member of a CSF you get the West Coast’s highest quality seafood at prices fair to both members and fishermen. My name is Guy Johnston. I have been a fisherman for over 40 years. I use hook and line to catch salmon and fish and fish by trap for prawns and shrimp: all low impact fishing methods. As a CSF member you will connect directly with the local fishing community and have healthy and sustainable seafood year around. For more information and to sign up for a 2022 share visit our website or contact us by email mrfishing@telus.net. www.michellerosecsf.com
