The Backyard Bounty Collective (BBC) is a collection of four new small businesses based in Vancouver that focus on backyard food systems that you may not (yet) see on your daily stroll down the lane. A recipient of Vancity’s enviroFund award, Backyard Bounty will help four ‘Farmpreneurs’ partner with Vancouver residents to design, build, and maintain small farming operations on their residential property. Four separate agriculture applications – apiculture (honeybee keeping), aquaponics (fish and vegetable closed tank system), chicken/egg farming, and mushroom farming - will be offered to urban dwellers under the guidance and support of the Environmental Youth Alliance. A strong public education component accompanies the project, cultivating the broader goal of food security and raising more of our own food closer to home. --From the BBC website.
