Excerpt:
The once-empty rooftop of Southcentre Mall is producing food and honey for Calgary families, thanks to a partnership between the shopping centre, urban farming group Microhabitat, Honey Meadow Farms and local nonprofit Made by Momma.
Now in its third year, the project features 150 planters which grow over 1,000 pounds of fruits, vegetables and herbs each season alongside two beehives which produce more than 200 jars of honey.
The harvest goes directly to Made by Momma, a volunteer-run Calgary non-profit that supports families facing crisis situations with practical assistance including meals and baby essentials.
“The food that’s being grown in the rooftop garden here at Southcentre Mall is essential in helping us prepare meals for families,” said Joanna Low, vice president of Made by Momma.
“When a family is going through, say, a critical illness or maybe the birth of multiples, good nutrition is often the first thing to go. So we take these ingredients back to our resource centre and commercial kitchen in West Hillhurst, and we prepare beautiful freezer meals so that we can just take one burden off of that family,” she said.
