The behind community supported agriculture involve; social interaction, en- viron ental awareneens and removing the barriers which normally exist between producers and consumers just as much as it involves carrots, beans and "There's a liberating concept behind community supported agriculture," says im Dungaon's Pauli Sommer, a patron of the local conununity garden project. "It's a concept that takes the stress off the people who produce our food. Supporters of the garden are sharing in the risk as well as the crop thereby assuring that the fanner is not .exploited .., not a martyr , to the cause of supplying us with the • necessity of food." Community supported agriculture is a grassroots movement to revitalize local agriculture by combining social and ecological responsibility. It is• a concept that began in Europe and has rapidly spread to Japan, the Philippines and. now North America. The idea arrived in Huron County last February when David Parsons, a bio -dynamic gardener and or- chardist, presented the concept of a com- munity supported garden to a small group in interested citizens. "In this case," explains Sominer, "it was David who sowed the seeds which blossomed into the project we're now in- volved in.'' Through a \ series of :meetings . the group, which includes twenty local families in addition to the gardener, worked out the logistics of the project. A plot of land that could support the garden was located; each family,bought a share Turn to page 9 • Huron's community gardener, David Par- sons, has Ids boots firmly planted in the project. • He claims "there are more benefits than just the, food produced",. and expects the community garden to blossom into an ongoing endeavor. .(Rob Bundy photo) ousing needs study o be conducted in county WALKERTON The study to assess housing needs in Bruce County will be conducted this month and a final report 'should be submitted to county council in January 1991.

Council was 'told the first phase of for- mal public meetings, including additional meetings with Elderslie Township and Chesley's Chamber of commerce, has been completed. The committee decided it cannot sup- port Southampton's request to amalgamate with local consent or the town's request to retain an independent consultant to review the structure and operation of the county; said Milton McIver, committee -chairman. Southampton's request to have the se- cond .phase of public meetingsextended into the summer to allow for input from seasonal ratepayers was agreed to by the committee. The results of the committee's first review, complete with a thorough analysis 'of selected restructuring alter- natives, will be made available to elected Officials and ratepayers prior to the se- cond phase of meetings, Mclver said. DAY CARE AGREEMENTS As recommended by the Homes • and Social Services ' Committee, Bruce Coun ty. Council • will purchase subsidized spaces for children at Kids Den Day Care Centre, Wiarton, and Hanover Co-op Nursery School Inc. These spaces are for clients of Bruce County Social Services ' who need assistance receiving day care services. The recommendation was presented to council at its Tuesday, May 22 meeting. By purchasing space at these two cen- tres the county now has agreements with "pretty well all private and municipal• day care centres in -Bruce County," said Brad Davis, chairman. Dick Vemps, director of Bruce Coun- ty Social Services, said the cost for the two agreements would be in the neighborhood of $20 per day. The agreement with Hanover, which is located in Grey County, is effective June 9, 1990. The agreement was ` made because it is so close to Brant Township, said WAS after the meeting. The Wier ton agreement was effective April 9, 1990.; CONTRACT APPROVED Reconstruction work along County Road 2, from the Hartley House corner to Thomas Street in Walkerton, will cost 647,622.
