S.U.F.E. & Our Community
Since August when we stated talking about Stratford Urban Farming Experiment, I've been pleasantly surprised by the amount of support our community has shown.
I want to make a few shout-outs to some of the great recent connections we've made.
Festival City Rotary Club - has donated $100 towards seeds & supplies for the season
House of Blessing - currently building our relationship with them (hope to have some produce to donate in season!)
Slow Food Perth County - has let us rent a stall at the Sunday Market, allowing us to fund-raise by selling bread & talk to more people about our project
Revel Caffe - has let us use the space for meetings & baking Sunday mornings until we found a larger kitchen to use
Simple Fish & Chips (website)- the new kitchen space! Chris is now making the brioche for Simple's Lobster Slider in exchange for the kitchen space Sunday AM before Market
This Saturday March 12, Shawn has offered to donate $1 to SUFE for Seeds for every Lobster Slider sold! So if you are wanting to try it out, this would be a great day!
With access to this larger space we will be able to bake more bread & sell more at market, which will give us more funds for the project!
Get Involved - How you can help: (email for more info)
Come to our events & get to know everyone!
Garden Manager - keep an eye on garden & schedule weekly garden-prep times based on needs of garden
Market Stall - sell bread at the stall & talk to people about the project
- 9:45-12pm or 12-2pm on Sundays
- I would like to give as many people this opportunity as possible
Bread-Making Help- Learn how to bake bread with Chris, in exchange for your time & help early in the early-early morning on Sunday.
Pot-Luck Host- host a pot-luck, meeting or an event of your creating

This is a photo from the last pot-luck we had at Bruce's place.
We are about to have another one! After Market pot-luck this Sunday 2-4pm...
