Moose: Moose Jaw

moose: The food farm, located in Moose Jaw Wakamow Valley, was created to help sustainably feed vulnerable populations in the city, according to Metro News. This season, it yielded just over 1,300 kg of potatoes and carrots, among other produce. The second annual Mosaic Community Food Farm harvest is a collaboration between the potash mining company and advocacy groups such as Hunger in Moose Jaw, Riverside Mission, Moose Jaw and District Food Bank and Tree Canada. Celeste Geisbauer, Mosaic senior community investment specialist, says it been a real bonus to have the Syrian refugees take part and learn what kind of vegetables can be grown in Saskatchewan. Farming is nothing new for refugee Mohammed Aboukhir."I have farmed in before, and I worked more than 20 years — all week and weekend — at my farm," said Aboukhir. She says the food harvested will be stored into the fall and winter and will help food agencies well into the new year. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
