Some stories are bigger than a crop.
Harvest has wrapped up for the 8th Annual Fiske Community Growing Project, but the roots of this incredible effort stretch back decades. What started in the late 1970s, when local farmers worked together to send surplus grain to famine-stricken countries, has grown into a lasting legacy of generosity through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
Today, that legacy continues thanks to the dedication of local farmers, volunteers, supporters, and the vision of those who came before them. Together, they're proving that a small Saskatchewan community can make a difference far beyond its own borders.
This video follows the project through the full crop year and celebrates the people behind it. The ones who seed, spray, harvest, volunteer, organize and give their time so others can have hope.
We're proud that Western Sales can play a small part in supporting a project that reflects the very best of rural Saskatchewan.
🌾 170 acres. 🧑🌾 One community. 🌍 A worldwide impact.

We're celebrating 10 years of impact together! ✨
For a decade, Bunge (formerly Viterra) has partnered with us by providing land for volunteers to farm, with proceeds donated to the Foodgrains Bank to fight global hunger.
This year, 267 acres in Alberta and Saskatchewan were seeded, continuing a collaboration that supports the work of our network to bring emergency assistance and sustainable agricultural training around the world.
