Sunnivue Farm
Protected by R.O.S.E.
(Redeeming Our Soil Economically)
As a Not-For-Profit
Community Land Trust Farm Since 1992
Good To Know
We are delighted to report that in the Spring of 2008 Sunnivue was awarded one of the Premier’s Awards for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence for 2007. These awards are part of a five-year Ontario programme to recognize new ideas in agriculture, and to support the "vision, creativity and hard work" that are so necessary to maintain and renew agriculture in the province.
The award was given for the partnership between ROSE: A Land Care Association and Sunnivue Farm, that is, for the idea of protecting the integrity of a family farm, and relating it to its community, with the help of a non-profit community land trust. The award recognizes the desire of the founders of the land trust "to link the principles of local food systems, community and sustainability that reflected their values."
The citation for the award notes that the model created by ROSE and Sunnivue was the first of its kind in Canada. It is our cherished wish that many more land trusts may arise to protect agricultural land and to ally themselves with farmers throughout the country.

Farm Store News
The last delivery day for the season will be June 1, and the farm store will open for the summer on June 5.
We look forward to seeing you at the store on the 5th of June and on many other Saturdays throughout the summer. You will find some attractive improvements that make shopping at Sunnivue easier and more convenient, and we look forward to showing you what has been done.
The store will be open each Saturday, 10:00-5:00, until mid-December.
Coming Soon
On Saturday, July 3, we will hold the 2010 edition of our annual meeting at the farm, and you are warmly invited to attend.
This year our speakers will be Alex and Ellinor Nurnberg, two of our treasured farmers, who will speak about water buffalo and the transition the farm is making to producing water buffalo milk for cheese and other products. There will be an opportunity to visit with some of the buffalo, who seem to be as curious about human beings as we are about them.
Please put this date on your calendar, and watch this space for news about the particulars. Or, email sunnivue-farm@gmx.de to add your name to the email list which keeps you informed about Sunnivue news and events.
