Excerpt:
The five-acre spread, located at the Old Man Creek Nursery in Sherwood Park, has been producing food for the Edmonton Food Bank since 2020 and is expecting another big yield this year.
Joy Lakhan, community garden team lead for the city, said the project was created to address food security concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since then, Lakhan said the farm has almost doubled its yield of produce; last year, around 65,000 pounds of food were harvested and donated.
“We’ve worked closely with the Edmonton Food Bank to learn more about the types of produce that moves very quickly,” Lakhan said.
To meet demand, this year the farm will focus on varieties of squash, root vegetables, corn, garlic and onions.
Tamisan Bencz-Knight of the Edmonton Food Bank said hampers regularly include shelf-stable staples like canned fruits and vegetables, as well as fresh and frozen products donated by the food industry.
But there’s nothing like a fresh, locally grown vegetable, she added.
