Meeting Minutes from 2012

Organic Federation of Canada/Fédération biologique du Canada (OFC/FBC)

The Canadian Organic Standard has been adopted. Certified organic producers in the territory should now be including the Canada Organic logo on their product labels. Joanne Jackson Johnson represents the territory organic producers on the council.

Copies of the standard can be obtained from Matt at the Yukon Agriculture Branch office or from Canadian Organic Growers.

Projects and Ideas

We often have the opportunity to put up a display at a public function - farmers meeting, farmers market, trade show, visiting speaker, local food event.  We have agreed for years that we should have something we could set up at a moment's notice rather than trying to come up with an appropriate display for each event. Please let Brian, Peter or Kim know your suggestions for this project.

What's Up Yukon columnist, Joan Norberg, writes a farming/gardening column called Frost to Frost.

Tom and Simone Rudge maintain the Yukon Food website and welcome submission of articles. For a $50 contribution to the Growers of Organic Food Yukon, we'll host a page for your farm too.

If you live in the Yukon (or northern BC), come join other local farmers and gardeners who are interested in using organic growing methods.

You don't need to be big and you don't need to be certified. Find out how to get the best tasting, healthiest food from your garden or farm.

Farm membership $35/year, individuals $20/year.

Feeling out of the loop? There's a slew of great books out there. Many can be borrowed from the Public Libraries in the Yukon, or the Energy, Mines and Resources library on the third floor of the Elijah Smith building, or COG members can request books from the COG library. We now have our own library too in the office in Shipyards Park. Any member can borrow or contribute books, videos, or magazines.
