News

Hi all !
It's a busy and successful season out there for Mac Students who are learning how to run an organic vegetable production ! This is why this blog has not been so active lately !
Instead, please visit our website www.mseg.weebly.com since it is updated more regularly !

We are serving two markets this summer :
- a farm stand at the Macdonald Campus on Tuesdays rom 11am to 3pm
- the St Anne de Bellevue Market on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm - www.marchesainteanne.ca/
We have also been selling over 20 weekly vegetable baskets to the Macdonald community!
 From August 30th until October 25th we will also be selling our veggies at the McGill Farmer's Market, on McTavish Street from nooon until 5pm www.mcgillfarmersmarket.blogspot.com/

Also, a big thank you to Les Jardins Carya  who help us so much with their knowledge, resources and moral support ! It's a pleasure to farm next to them and  Ferme du Zephyr and Santropol Roulant ! What an amazing organic community ! We now have a blog with stories of the 4 farms combined : check it out -->  http://thedirtonit.wordpress.com/

We have had many volunteers come on Saturdays and during the week ! Elementary school children and teenagers have visited our fields as well ! If you would like to come and help out, learn, visit contact us at macdonaldstudentgarden@gmail.com

To a fruitful future !

The Macdonald Student-run Ecological Gardens (MSEG) won the Catalyst Award for Lessons Learned in Sustainability ! Read about it here. The MSEG project is, indeed, full of lessons to learn ! We would like to take this occasion to thank the Office of Sustainability and Lilith Wyatt in particular, as well as Caroline Begg for their amazing support.
