Promoting Local Food Sustainability

The Sooke Seedy Saturday is organized by Sooke Region Food CHI, an organization dedicated to promoting local food sustainability within the rural Sooke area. Over the years, the group has engaged the community in various initiatives aimed at enhancing food security and resilience.

Recently, Sooke Region Food CHI awarded the 2025 Sooke Region Food CHI Farmer Bursary to Amber Rowse-Robinson of Brass Bell Farm. This bursary will support the completion of the farm’s new dairy facility, emphasizing the organization’s commitment to fostering local agricultural development.

In addition to Sooke Seedy Saturday, Sooke Food CHI organizes events throughout the year, including a fall harvest festival often referred to as Apple Fest, furthering their mission to engage the community in sustainable food practices and local agricultural education.

As the date approaches, anticipation is building for another successful Sooke Seedy Saturday, where community members can connect, learn, and celebrate local food production.
