The Everlasting Journey

My name is Josh Fraser one of many that work with Roots to Harvest. As a teenager i have not experienced anything like what Roots to Harvest has to offer to the youth of Thunder Bay. During the six weeks that i was with Roots to Harvest everything has had a positive impact on my future caused by many factors such as the people i worked with, the hard work and determination it takes to grow fresh vegetables, realizing where your food comes from, interacting with people, and most of all learning to have fun while working hard. There has been many memories in the past six weeks, the best ones were working with the sheep at Blue Moon Ranch, working at Larry and Diana Bockus's farm "all work is done by horse power" which is very interesting, learning how to harvest and pack vegetables at Matt and April's farm which is Boreal Edge CSA "Community Supported Agriculture". We are also interconnected with all of the community gardens helping them progress with their shape and form making the final structure beautful and unique. We also helped out at the Shelter House and worked with groups from Superior Science at Lakehead University teaching them about their five senses that they use everyday when eating or using food. The best thing that i have learned this summer is to relax and enjoy your food and remember eat local food support local farms or even grow your own food in your own backyard... :) ill be back with more blogs even though im done with Roots to Harvest ill still continue with our goals and efforts to continue the journey ....
