You have shared your enthusiasm for the growing of organic food close to your home at this place of peace, the Ignatius Jesuit Centre.”;

• “I am filled with gratitude for the phenomenal enthusiasm, joy, support, and creative efforts put forward by our garden team, staff, and volunteers to make this CSA work and thrive. Operating a financially sustaining farm is no small task, and every year I am more convinced farms can only survive if they have a supportive community around them that sees them through the years of plenty and scarcity.”;

• “CSA’s are a key activity in a food security program, so by being a CSA member, and buying local, organic vegetables, you are already contributing to food security. But food security should be for everyone. That is why many CSA's include a social justice component to their work, and try to make their food accessible to low income people who may not have the means to drive out to a rural area to pick up fresh local produce. Here at Ignatius, we have tried to contribute to social justice in our own small way.”
