Coming Up Soon
(updated April 2023)
AGM -- Calling all members!
The Horse Lake Community Farm Co-operative's Annual General Meeting is coming up on Saturday, April 22, 2023. We will meet similar to previous years, at 10:00am at the United Church, located at 49 Dogwood Avenue, 100 Mile House, BC.
Annual Events
We held our second successful online Winter Treasures sale in early December. The funds raised from this auction help us carry out our goals to protect and develop local farming capacity and agricultural resources, together with cultivating an ethical and high-quality food supply. Every year, we continue to improve our practices through projects such as fencing, irrigation and water conservation, and housing for farm workers.
The Co-op hosts several other events throughout the year including ‘open farm’ picnics and educational tours. Groups who have visited and enjoyed the farm include 4-H, University of Northern BC, Farm Folk-City Folk, Windsor House School, and the Canim Land Band Elders. The Co-op supports WWOOF and other agriculture and volunteer programs. We are also involved in a badger monitoring project.
One of our main fundraising projects is roasting and selling premium, co-op friendly, and sustainably-produced coffee. We also sell an assortment of greeting cards and other items. From May to September, you can find us at the 100 Mile House Farmers' Market (see below), or you can also email us to purchase items at other times or during the winter months.
