Thank you for the tour, Deep Roots Food Hub @deeprootsfh. The year-round storage facility is 100% off grid, reliant on solar power, 4 12-volt vehicle batteries + the skill & dedication of local volunteers. This root cellar is a feather in West Carleton's cap. #Ward5Ott

It's always important not to waste food! At this time of year, lots of people have an abundance of tomatoes. What are some of your favourite ways to use up tomatoes? Mmm caprese salad....

Now we can collect rain water and use it to water our plants!
Here are two volunteers showing off the lovely hatch opening they made. 2/2

More hard work from our #volunteers! We're always looking for environmentally-conscious ways to grow food. Some of our Board members and volunteers dug a water cistern on our root cellar property, and built a deck to cover it. 1/2

Today we take time to listen, to learn, and to support Canada's Indigenous peoples. We extend our support and our compassion to residential school survivors and their families. #EveryChildMatters #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay

[Deep Roots Food Hub @deeprootsfh]

It also represents lots of #volunteer hours, from digging out the cistern, to measuring and building the platform. Our #volunteers are the very best!! 2/2

It may not look fancy, but this cistern cover will allow us to collect rain water at our root cellar, and then water our growing #vegetables in an environmentally-friendly way! 1/2

[Deep Roots Food Hub @deeprootsfh]

Who else has LOTS of tomatoes in their garden right now? Here are some great ideas about how you can use them all up!
