THE FOOD COMMONS: A community growing project.
The Local Food Initiative (LFI) has partnered with the Indigenous Friendship Society of Revelstoke (IFSR) to develop a 1.8 acre plot of urban land into an educational food project at Powerhouse Road. The project will launch in 2025!
VISION
The Food Commons is an educational and community farm that honors Indigenous foodways and supports food security for present and future generations.
MISSION
The IFSR and LFI are working together to restore 1.8 acres of land into a welcoming gathering space where we grow, harvest and share food and knowledge. The Food Commons will host financially sustainable programs to ensure the long-term resilience of the project.
VALUES
We will achieve the vision & mission of the Food Commons project through the following:
Humility - A profound relationship with the land, plants, animals, and ecosystems that is rooted in gratitude, reciprocity, and balance.
Collaboration - Embrace all who want to contribute to the Food Commons in the spirit of community.
Equity - Offering equal access to a sustainable and just food system for all Revelstokians.
Stewardship - Care for and deep connection to the land.
Curiosity - Open to learning and unlearning.
Celebration - Of the rich connection to food in Revelstoke that brings us together.
Courage - To be innovative & embrace new ways of knowing.
