Our official launch was September 13th during the 7th perennial Harvest Moon Festival in Clearwater, Manitoba. This initiative is well over a year in the making and it is very exciting to be officially off the ground!

The Harvest Moon Local Food Initiative (HMLFI) is an effort to try and create a more local, fair and sustainable food system right here in Manitoba. Indeed this responsibility must be shared between farmers and eaters. We are committed to raising healthy animals and plants and enabling you to have access to safe, nutritious and tasty food all year round.

Another big part of this initiative is to educate, raise awareness and ultimately be more inclusive about our food, how it is grown, processed and distributed. All who are involved will ultimately determine the shape and direction of this initiative and we want you to be a part of the journey!

The HMSLFI is currently comprised of 10 farm families, 2 small on-farm food processing businesses, and a HMS advisory committee and, hopefully, you too!
