Social Harvest Ottawa
Social Harvest Ottawa is an organization within the Rideau-Rockcliffe Community Resource Centre (RRCRC) in Ottawa, Ontario. We are a social enterprise that aims to improve food security in one of Ottawa’s lowest income areas, Ward13. We offer a range of food-focused programming, workshops and events to local residents. We also offer a community garden where residents can plant and grow produce. Our aim is to engage our local community with agricultural practices and provide better access to fresh foods.
Social Harvest sells leafy greens, microgreens, worm castings and seed paper. Our micro and leafy greens are grown and harvested at our location’s greenhouse. We sell a variety of microgreen flavors including spicy triton radish, red radish, broccoli and peas. We also sell microgreen growing kits that provide both the materials and instructions needed to grow your own microgreens at home!
Our worm castings are harvested from our vermicomposting stations and can be used as a great soil conditioner for houseplants and gardens.
Our handmade seed papers are biodegradable paper products that are embedded with seeds. When the paper is planted in a pot of soil, the seeds grow and the paper composts away.
Our products help fund our programs and services. All revenue is reinvested into our efforts to fight hunger within our community.
