The Mosaic Food Farm started 5 years ago in partnership with Wakamow Valley. Mosaic works with Hunger in Moose Jaw, Moose Jaw Food Bank and Riverside mission and it began with the vision of a big 2-acre garden, that dream has become a reality.

A new addition this season was a fence to keep wildlife at bay, and they have noticed higher yields.

"This is exactly what we were hoping for and it grows every year." said Celeste Geisbauer senior community investment specialist with Mosaic. "We started out with the three food agencies who are still with us and come out every year and are the recipients of the produce"

The food farm succeeds in large part because of volunteers who help do the planting, weeding and harvesting.

Not only does the garden provide an opportunity for food security in the community, but food education as the garden gets visitors throughout the year from classrooms, and other groups of children.

"This is fantastic, the amount of produce that we get from this, we can therefore help so many people out in our communities. Fresh items are often a staple that we don't receive on a regular basis. The one year from the garden, we received enough potatoes that they pretty much lasted all the way until Christmas," said Deann Little Development Manager at the Moose Jaw Food Bank.

"The more that we can get and the more that grows and does well is just better for our community and the people that live here."

Totals aren't in just yet, but Geisbauer anticipates a much larger amount of food than in previous years.
