Denman Feeding Denman Initiative Encourages Local Food Sustainability

community · May 2020 · Denman Island

The Denman Island Seed Savers Group and Growers & Producers Alliance promote local food sustainability by encouraging seed saving, expanding gardens, sharing harvests, and buying local produce. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted vulnerabilities in food supply chains, prompting calls for increased local food production and community cooperation.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
