'Straight From the Farmers Mouth'
Kris Vester is a farmer from the Calgary area. He was kind enough to sit down with me and share his perspectives on the current state of food in our region. Please keep in mind that this is only 5 minutes of a 45 minute interview. I should have the unedited version available soon.

Volunteer Call
A note from Jodi at the Garden Path:
I may have talked to some of you this past weekend, but we are looking for volunteers for our annual fundraising opportunity this summer. During the Stampede (July 7-17th this year..), our volunteers take shifts selling raffle tickets on behalf of the Kinsmen. Other than the Sneak-a-Peek Thursday, there are three shifts a day -- morning, afternoon and evening. Its an easy, fun way for us to fundraise, and admission to the Park is taken care of.
The Kinsmen pay us per shift worked, so if you are interested, please volunteer as many times as you can!!
A big thanks to those that have already volunteered; I will be in touch with further details a little closer to the date. Happy gardening!
All the best,
Jodi Lucas
Funds and Granting Director
Garden Path Society
You can email Jodi for more details and shift times at jodijets65@hotmail.com
