Like many city farmers, Snow has overcome this obstacle by embracing Small Plot Intensive Farming (SPIN) methods, which include farming in backyards around the city and planting strategically.

The Harvest Fair, held at the Bloomfield Centre from 1pm to 3pm, will be a celebration of the  bounty of our fair city. Local food is the ...

HALIFAX - Alas, summer is coming to an end.  Perhaps a little Earl-y, but those hot hot Haligonian hay days are now making way for crisp evenings and crisply dressed students.  BUT, before we retreat to the cozyness of our respective abodes, Jamie Mary Burnet and Su Donovaro are inviting us this friday to have one final hurrah in the Commons. This summer the Commons has born witness to both the triumphs and the tragedies of the common people.  It has also been given a ...
