Dear community garden member,

Your Ignatius Farm will be asking funders for grants so we can increase access to water for our CSA fields, our community gardeners, as well as for small farm businesses that rent land here. Some funders require us to explain how our plans will benefit Canadians without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. For this reason, our annual survey includes questions to identify if our garden plots assist low-income households.

Please help us by taking a few moments to answer these questions. Your input is invaluable to our grant writing and future planning! You may skip any questions you do not feel comfortable answering. All survey answers are anonymous.

Some facts you may not be aware of: Our community garden had 214 members covering 125,500 square feet in 2020! You can sponsor a plot to help other gardeners. You can also apply for one of a small number of sponsored plots.
