Lawns to Loaves Project

Join Chris Hergesheimer, "The Flour Peddler," and the Environmental Youth Alliance in an unique Vancouver initiative to explore the limits of where our daily bread comes from. Lawns to Loaves connects local residents, community groups, schoolchildren, and bakeries in a collaborative urban wheat farm comprised of a patchwork of micro-fields across the city. This spring we are looking for committed volunteers to grow at least 25 sq feet of wheat in their backyards, front yards, community gardens, churchs, alleyways, etc. Volunteers will receive seed and support along the way, culminating in a fall celebration where participants will thresh and mill their harvests to create the most local bread and pizza dough in the country.
