For anyone who is at all concerned about the future of the UBC Farm, I strongly urge them to stay tuned to developments at the UBC Farm Blog (http://www.landfood.ubc.ca/ubcfarm/farmblog/). There are a number of upcoming campus planning events fast approaching and info regarding how to attend should be posted there in the new future. Also, a more detailed explanation of why, exactly, the farm is threated, including info on the UBC planning process, is available at my blog: http://www.rocksandwater.ca. Thanks for bringing this issue to attention.

If you want to get serious about environmentalism, you have to get serious about the consistent load you have as a consumer. You have to get serious about food. And that means local food. And that means local farms. Without local farms, close to consumers, the load of each of our meals (3x per day) get heavier. So: Go UBC Farm! And I recommend their market on Saturday mornings.
