Durham College is launching an initiative dubbed Farm Fresh Thursdays to bring produce from its urban farm to the broader community. Each Thursday, visitors can visit the Produce Pavilion to purchase seasonal, hand-picked fare from the farm; take home prepared foods from the Pantry retail store; or eat meals made with the farm’s produce at the Bistro ’67 patio. The items for sale include produce that is not typically available through grocery stores, including tri-coloured peas and serviceberries. “Having the farm on campus allows us to engage with the community in thoughtful and impactful ways when addressing issues such as food security, food literacy and food sustainability,” said Durham Urban Farm Field Supervisor Andrew Guay.
