Using Unwanted Wool to Build Soil Health
Since 2008, All Sorts Acres located Ayton Ontario, has been exploring the potential of waste wool, a journey that began with wool from their own sheep. Learn how a loan from Harvest Impact supported the purchase of small scale pelletizing equipment.
Exploring community based food waste solutions
Abbey Gardens is located in Haliburton County, created to transform a spent gravel pit into a green space dedicated to developing economic, ecological, educational, and recreational growth. Their onsite Food Hub is a specialty grocery store where they sell products sourced within 200km, with 30% of products being made onsite, either in their commercial kitchen or grown in their market garden. Loan financing will take garden produce or products in the Hub that can't be sold (near expiry/spoilage) and package them into new products like preserves, frozen dinners and soups.
“Harvest Impact’s social finance approach proactively invests in companies, organizations and people to generate social, environmental, or cultural benefits alongside financial returns,” said Julia Grady, 10C Co-Founder and Executive Director.
