From the Ground Up

Connecting Yukon farms to local tables. Students and early learning centres sell bundles of Yukon-grown food to raise funds for their school — and to support the territory's farmers.

This year's food supplied by

A family operation that grew out of Yukon Valley Farm, the Amiot family evolved from raising livestock into running the Yukon's first flour mill. They cultivate barley and other grains adapted to local conditions and produce nutrient-rich barley products — including the pancake & waffle mix, hot breakfast cereal, and brownie mix featured in the bundle.

Hinterland Flour Mill

Established in 1999 by Steve & Bonnie Mackenzie-Grieve, Yukon Grain Farm sits north of Whitehorse along the Yukon River. Originally focused on grain feed, they expanded into vegetables and now grow the potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, and cabbage that anchor the food bundle.
