SUMMARY:JULY 27\, 2025: MEADOW CREEK\, BC – Farm Tour and Potluck at Earth Temple Gardens
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to a Farm Tour and Potluck at Earth Temple Gardens in Meadow Creek\, BC! Come out to connect with other farmers and food lovers\, share a potluck meal and learn how to operate a farm in a remote location. \nEarth Temple Gardens is an organic farm situated in the rural community of Meadow Creek\, nestled between the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges at the north end of Kootenay Lake. Owner and operator Michael Silver first established the farm over 10 years ago\, on leased land. When the land was sold in 2023\, Michael worked with the B.C. Land Matching Program to develop a land agreement with the new landholders. Since then\, Earth Temple Gardens has continued to supply the community with organic vegetables and medicinal herbs. Michael’s mission is to grow healthy produce in the most sustainable way possible – he believes that nourishing local communities and enriching the biodiversity of the land are far from mutually exclusive. \nDuring the farm tour\, we will learn about Michael’s approach to sustainable agriculture and his experience selling through multiple sales channels\, including: farmers’ markets\, farm stand\, and wholesale. Nyree\, the Columbia Basin Land Matcher\, will also be there to discuss how she can help you find a farmer for your land or farmland where you can build your dream farm business. The afternoon will wrap up with a potluck meal\, with plenty of time to ask questions and socialize. \nCome out to learn about land matching and check out what your local farmers are up to! \nDATE: July 27\, 2025 • 11am – 2pm \nLOCATION: Ktunaxa\, Sinixt\, and Syilx Territory. 13270 BC-31\, Meadow Creek\, BC \nDIRECTIONS/PARKING: The farm is located right off of Highway 31 (Balfour-Kaslo-Galena Bay Highway)\, close to where it intersects with Meadow Creek Rd. There is parking space available on the farm. Carpooling is encouraged – if you are looking for or can offer a ride to or from the event\, you can organize carpooling through the Facebook event (coming soon). Please do not bring pets to the event. Kids are welcome! More information below. \nREGISTER: So that we can plan for the tour and potluck\, please register on Eventbrite.
