Urban Farmscape Society outlines plans for community farm
PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Urban Farmscape Society is a grassroots coalition of community members and non-profits dedicated to enhancing food security and food sovereignty in Prince George and they are hoping to create a community farm.
The society recently asked city council to purchase a five acre piece of land near the Hudson’s Bay wetland. The current owners are hoping to sell and downsize and would like to see those five acres used as a community garden.
The society also asked the city that if they purchase the five acres of the land, that the city place a restrictive covenant on the land to limit development to that of a community farm, and designate the Urban Farmscape Society to manage said community farm.
