Farm Highlight: Acadia University

Acadia University first partnered with Growcer in 2019 and harvests are still going strong! They recently launched The Food Security Project to raise funds to ensure no students fall through the cracks when it comes to obtaining nutritious food. 

In addition to their other food security programs, the university donates 10% of their Growcer produce to students and local community members in need. Read more about their Growcer project here.
