I share the outrage that big chain grocery stores are misrepresenting so called Canadian products that come from the USA. Shop at small local businesses, farmers markets, farm stands, local craft fairs, buy and trade with your neighbours. Profiteering off of people's good will and desire to shop Canadian by lying is despicable.

It’s a beautiful day for a Farmer’s Market! Join us and skads of other great growers, bakers and makers from 12:30-2:30pm at McLeod Road.
We have an amazing abundance from blueberries to zucchini and carrots to onions and everything else you can imagine and some things you probably can’t!
We try something new every season and this year it is Kamo Kamo summer squash! This delicious large squash originated with the Māori of New Zealand and thanks to our Kiwi resident farmer Mica we have learned all about it. I stuffed one two nights ago and it was Yummmmmmy!
Mica will have them at the market today including fresh samples. Ask her for recipe tips!

We are a group of families working to create an intentional community with a strong food growing and green living focus. We have beautiful property in Wildwood (traditional Tla’amin territory and within the city of Powell River) and look forward to bringing our vision to reality.
Vision
Blueberry Commons is a thriving ecological housing and farm cooperative with members living in close connection with each other and the land.
Mission
We are designing and building ecological housing, community facilities and agricultural opportunities for a diverse group of people in a beautiful semi-rural setting within Powell River/Tla’amin Nation traditional territory.
Aims
❖ To create healthy and sustainable energy-efficient homes and community facilities that meet the needs of coop members.
❖ To create a functional and beautiful living environment through good intentional design.
❖ To create the physical and social infrastructure to strengthen our resilience and adaptation to external stresses through growing food, sharing resources and supporting each other.
❖ To foster a community dynamic that encourages lifelong learning, mentoring, inclusivity, cooperation and celebration.
❖ To use Sociocracy as a system of governance, decision making and management that is participatory, effective and transparent.
❖ To preserve and develop the agricultural potential of the land as a means of providing food security for the cooperative and wider community.
Values and Principles
Our community recognizes that we are all interdependent and in relationship, not only with each other, but with the entire ecosystem. We affirm and practice core values, including:
Inclusivity and diversity
Intergenerational living
Trust and respect with each other and the wider community
Celebration, joy and gratitude
