Excerpt:
The Vegetable Garden initiative in Taber, Alta., is just finishing up its 11th anniversary, with the bounty from its volunteers going to food banks across the province.
The produce has been plentiful and varied over the years thanks to the efforts of the green thumbs. The Vegetable Garden has produced mainly sweet corn, but its harvest also includes carrots, beets, green beans, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions, eggplant and celery. It also produces vine crops with pumpkins, squash, cantaloupe and watermelon.
“We grow what the food bank patrons are going to use,” said Andy Puskas, volunteer co-ordinator/manager for the Vegetable Garden.
“It’s a lot of basic vegetables people can cook, or preserve on a short-term basis. Some of it can be stored over the winter or be used a week or two after being picked.”
