Announcing the Abundance Farm Stand

We believe that no one in our community should be deprived of food, housing or health care. Aligned with this mission, we are excited to announce the opening of the Abundance Farm Stand within our urban permaculture garden on Hereford Ave. This farm stand is an offering of abundance from our local farms and gardens, sharing the wealth of local veggies and produce with those that need it.

This initiative supports, and also requires the support of the Salt Spring Island Community. Help us make locally grown, fresh and nutritious organic produce accessible to all, especially those families and individuals on low incomes and tight budgets.

Please drop whatever your farm or garden has in excess at our farm stand any time day or night.

Nothing on the Abundance Farm Stand has a price and no payment of any kind is required, however a donation jar is available for those who are able to pass it forward. All cash donations will go to the local food bank and other initiatives to feed those less fortunate.

If you have produce to donate and are unable to make it to town, please call us at 250-900-1125 to arrange pick-up.

With love,

Greg Clayton and the Wellness Centre team

About the Wellness Centre

New Management – Ganges Yoga Studio is now a part of the Wellness Centre

Its hard to believe, the Salt Spring Island Wellness Centre opened its doors just over a year ago, and the transformation of a near vacant, receivership-laden space into the wonderful Hub of Wellness on Salt Spring Island that it now embodies has been amazing.

As the season changes, so to does the ownership of Ganges Yoga Studio. The Salt Spring Island Wellness and Ganges Yoga Studio, which was created and run by Celeste Mallet Jason, are now one (her letter to the community can be found here).

As of October 1, the space has been re-opened with some big changes:

Unlimited Yoga Passes will allow students to attend their choice of 27 regular scheduled classes each week.
An additional 13 Special Classes are also available. From Dance to Pre-Natal Yoga, to Crystal Bowl Healing to Mediation to Aikido to Boot Camp. There is a class for everyone.!
