Groundbreakers Agriculture Association is a non-profit charitable organization focused on local food and gardening education. We believe in building strong, healthy communities through supporting the Bulkley Valley local food economy and teaching citizens, young and old, about the benefits of local food and how to grown their own.
Local Food - Know It, Sow It, Grow It, Eat It!
Groundbreakers is happy to offer its Members a variety of food preserving equipment items to borrow through our Tool Library.
This is Groundbreakers' newest educational program that is growing in popularity. It combines outdoor and place based learning using local wild food as the focus for cultural and ecosystem experiential learning. Groundbreakers Facilitators bring K-7 classes out to local forests to teach about wild plants and foods through sensory exploration. In the outdoors students learn to identify plants, forage, prepare, cook and eat foods from our wild spaces.
Through Canada Summer Jobs employment programs, Groundbreakers is able to offer agricultural training to students and paid work at a variety of local farms in the Bulkley Valley.
