The core of the ntámłqən Community Garden & Food Hub revolves around several key objectives:
- producing healthy food and cultivating native plants,
- fostering business and employment opportunities,
- establishing spaces for education, collaboration, and community gatherings
We aim to deliver a spectrum of social, economic, and health benefits, with a particular focus on Indigenous food security and sovereignty.
Our Vision
The vision of ntámłqən Gardens is to build decolonized, collaborative, healthy, and happy community, where people can rely on and help each other. Bringing people back together in community is essential, sharing food, knowledge, and resources, showing care and love. This is with a view into the future 7 generations, who will learn how to work with land to benefit community and be in reciprocal relationships, building health and wellbeing for all.
In its fullest expression:
• The Hub provides healthy and affordable food, living wage jobs, entrepreneurial opportunities, and access to food and farming skills.
• The farm grows food crops and has livestock with sustainable and organic ethics, processes food into preserved and saleable goods, and support intergenerational learning.
• The land is part of a revitalized gardening culture and indigenous trade and barter systems, as well as a lively space for creativity and collaboration.
