CSA project in British Columbia plans to move grain by sailboat
The first grain-based Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project in Canada will move sacks of wheat, spelt and oats on a "fleet" of sailboats across Kootenay Lake— a trip which by truck would meander over about 150 km of mountain highways. The grain is destined for a Nelson bakery and for another 180 CSA project members, who each paid $100 to receive 100 pounds of grain. "My initial motivation to have grain grown locally was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," said CSA project founder Matt Lowe of the West Kootenay EcoSociety.
