Local Food Fund

The Local Food Fund is the only charitable funding source in the province with a mandate dedicated to healthy local food issues. It was established in 2010 by a Catalyst Group within Spirit Nova Scotia. The founding donation was made by local, organic food leader and mentor on climate change, Lil MacPherson, in memory of her brother, Jimmy. Lil chose to donate to the Local Food Fund to honour their collective love for food. View PDF
