We want to empower people to grow their own forest gardens and so we are offering food-bearing trees and shrubs at a discounted, affordable rates. We also host the Ottawa Food Forest Exchange Facebook group, a forum for its 1300+ members to swap and trade food forest materials with each other to expand without needing to shell out $$. The proceeds of sales of these trees goes to support non-profit activities at the Just Food Community Farm.
