Groovin' at The Grove was so much fun this summer!

Thank you to our August performers, The Loose and Blessing Tangban for sharing their beautiful, joyful music with us. Everyone had a great time singing and dancing along while enjoying good food together.

Big thanks to all the community members who joined us for this special series of performances during Drop-in Cafe.

Three guest chefs for three Food Demos! What a special month in the Community Kitchen.

Dave, from Healthy Minds Cooperative, showed us how to prepare eggplant parmesan, which reports say smelled and tasted amazing! This was a bit of a different experience from the typical sessions he has been doing at The North Grove focused on mental wellbeing, and yet a really fun one! It's always a pleasure to have you join us, Dave.

Kat, Dietetics Intern from Mount Saint Vincent University did an amazing demonstration of pork congee & Chinese date tea. The participants tasted century eggs for the first time and the traditional Cantonese dish was well enjoyed!

Amanda-Lynn, the Food Skills Facilitator at The North Grove, had an exciting demo with two different tacos - halloumi with corn salsa & zucchini tacos with tahini sauce. Huge thanks to the adult and youth volunteers for the extra help with this session!

Thank you for volunteering on the Community Farm this week, Harbinger Law!

This group did lots and lots of weeding and watering. The planter boxes around the farm look refreshed, and the chickens got spoiled with all the weeds we pulled. We ended the day with a favorite – arranging bouquets!

We’re so grateful for your support! 💐

This summer marked a big milestone for The North Grove: the first season selling Primrose Preserves at a farmers’ market. Each batch was made with care in our Community Kitchen by many hands coming together to prepare ingredients, fill jars, and build community.

We’re grateful for those who volunteer their time every month – from chopping and stirring to jarring and laughing, you are the heart of this program.

And thank you to East Coast Credit Union’s Community Compass Grant for helping us grow a small preserves program into a blossoming social enterprise.

We can’t wait to be back at a market this fall! 🍓
