Community Natural Foods Highlights Local Growers!
by Jessica Filed in: Community Building, Food Choices, Local Business, Products & Services, ShoppingCommunity Natural Foods is currently working on a series of documentary style videos highlighting some of their amazing local growers and suppliers. The first of this series shines the spotlight on Highwood Crossing - a farm beautifully located between Okotoks and High River with the Highwood River running alongside the land. Today, Highwood Crossing grows 100% certified organic crops on 320 acres of land. The crops include; wheat, rye, flax, canola, oats, barley, peas, hay and sweet clover. From there, they take the crops they’ve grown and produce and package certified organic food products. The food products include stone ground flours as well as whole grains and cereals, cold pressed flax and canola oil, granola, flaxseed muffin and pancake mix. All 12 of these wonderful products are available at Community Natural Foods locations in Calgary.
This video is a beautiful incite into what makes Highwood Crossing a wonderful and unique local business (AND it was made by former Healthy Homes team member, the talented Catriona Laird!)
