Grow where you are

Food growing can begin with a few containers, a backyard garden or a larger community space. Local Food Manitoulin shares practical knowledge that helps people build confidence with seeds, soil, planting, harvesting and preserving food through the seasons.

Harvest with respect

Mnidoo Mnis offers a rich landscape of wild foods and traditional harvesting knowledge. Learning what can be gathered, when it should be gathered and how to harvest responsibly is part of maintaining a healthy relationship with the land.

Knowledge is strongest when it is shared

Workshops, videos, community events and local mentors help keep skills moving between people and generations. This section can grow into a living library of seasonal resources.
