Thank you for your support! It makes events like the Earth Festival and Grow Together Festival possible!

Hello FMCF Community! Today is , an annual effort for "unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world". That is, it's a day to recognize what a group of people can do when they work together for their community.

This year at the farm, we were able to make a real difference in our community because of donations. This Giving Tuesday, we're asking anyone who supports the farm to donate to reThink Green 's Evergreen Holiday Drive using the link above. Donations will go towards keeping programs like the Flour Mill Community Farm up and running.
Thank you for your support, and Happy Holidays!

Local food with extremely reasonable prices, putting fresh produce within reach for everyone. Awesome! Flour Mill Community Farm's first market of 2024 is tomorrow from 4 - 6, check it out!

FIRST MARKET TOMORROW! 4:00 - 6:00 pm, at 736 Bruce Avenue. Fresh, organic, locally-grown and locally-supported produce. Come and see!

You may see this student-made flyer, or one of the many others, being posted around the Ryan Heights neighbourhood today, just in time for the big day tomorrow. If you do, share it with your own network! Let's spread the word and make this the biggest opening day yet.

We are so excited! Come on out, rain or shine, to see what our team has grown. Produce is sold using a pay-what-you-can model, which means you set your price for the food you take home.

Please note: we can only take cash at this time, no card for payment.

Another brand shout-out! The Nickel Refillery Inc. advocates for waste-free home products, based in Sudbury's West End.

Happy International Self-Care Day!
Self-care can look like a lot of different things - reading your favourite book, taking a walk in a nearby park, or a classic at-home spa day. If you favour the latter, consider visiting The Nickel Refillery Inc. for your self-care supplies!
They provide everything you'll need - candles, soaps, creams - as eco-friendly options. Bring your own container to avoid unnecessary plastic waste, or try some of their house-made candles. Plus, they are locally owned, so you can rest assured that your support goes right back into the Sudbury community.
How will you celebrate International Self-Care Day?
