One Straw Society has a long history of a good chin wag over shared meals. It’s what our towns were built on… solving the world’s problems with food, music and conversation! 🍛🎶

Join your neighbours, friends and fellow gardeners for a Shared Plate Potluck and our Annual General Meeting. Come eat, dance, chat, and find out what’s been happening, what’s coming, elect our directors, and brainstorm together.

* TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26
* Dinner @ 5:30 (Come a few minutes early to set up your food)
* at the Roberts Creek Community Hall!
* Bring a healthy appy, main, salad or dessert to share (This is a plate dinner… no foods that require a bowl for this one, please!)

As we lead up to this year’s AGM, consider what secret superpowers and time you might have that could help…
Can you volunteer for an event, the Ocean Vegetable Community Garden, do fundraising, bookkeeping, or other key admin support? We need to hear from you, now more than ever!
………………………………………

One Straw Society is a little grass roots organization focused on FOOD SECURITY here on the Coast, where we rely on food being trucked in by ferry. Seedy Saturday, the Fall Faire, the Ocean Vegetables Community Garden, and lots of other events, workshops, advocacy and partnerships are all made possible by volunteers building a sustainable, healthy community together!

If you think about food growing, food security, water issues, GMOs, sustainability, food policy, the ALR, or just want to learn more to be able to…
grow,
harvest,
preserve/can,
pickle,
forage,
dehydrate,
or ferment…

Come join us! Get in touch! Volunteer! Nominate someone (or yourself) for the Board of Directors! Nomination deadline is Nov. 19!

Annual Events

Every year, One Straw hosts three iconic events.

Seedy Saturday kicks off the planting season, the Edible Garden Tour celebrates the height of summer, and the Fall Faire invites the community to share in the season’s harvest.

We also host, appear at, and facilitate many smaller events throughout the year. Keep an eye out for our banner!
