Since the year 2000, LUSH Valley has been working across the Comox Valley to help people gain local food systems skills, knowledge and access to good food. We see good food as a vehicle for empowerment, social justice, celebration and community well-being. LUSH Valley was officially registered as a non-profit society in the year 2000. While fruit harvesting,and now farm gleaning,remain our core programs … my how we have grown! LUSH Valley has been a catalyst for food-related projects, working hard to strengthen relationships in the local food system, and building on individuals’ food skills in an effort to increase self-reliance. The impact and scope of the organization have grown each year and now includes: - Fruit Tree Harvest & Farm Gleaning: Utilizing volunteers to help us ‘share the harvest’ to ensure that good food doesn’t go to waste. (1/3 each is given to the homeowner and volunteers and 1/3 goes to directly support various agencies and in our community through our Good Food Box program.) - Share the Harvest Community Garden: Mentoring people to learn to grow their own food as a community. - Healthy Foods Programs: Teaching people of all ages to cook healthy meals and appreciate local food - Food Share: Hot Meals and Good Food Box programs serving vulnerable populations (in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic). - Advocacy: Collaborating with all levels of government to grow our local economy by supporting farmers and producers and to address the issue of food security. - Food Policy Council: Working with local stakeholders to ensure a food secure future for all.
