    WANTED: Rhubarb

    One of our participants is the Food Bank Farm (foodbankfarm.ca).  Food grown by the the Food Bank Farm is distributed by the Sault Ste. Marie Soup Kitchen Community Centre.  The Farm is seeking donations of rhubarb to support an educational program that teaches people to prepare and preserve fresh local food.  If you’ve got rhubarb, please consider harvesting some and bringing it to Trails Fest to support the awesome work of the Farm.
