Growing a resilient food future.

Cowichan green Community (CGC) has been at the heart of enviromental and food sustainability in the Cowichan Region since 2004. We envision a food-secure region where connection to food, the enviroment, and eachother is celebrated.

Through strong partnerships with local producers, community programs, and education, CGC strengthens local food systems and empowers the Cowichan community.

As food insecurity rises and gloable supply chains become increasingly unpredictable, CGC is committed to building a resilient, inclusive, and healthy local food system. This initiative will empower local food producers, reduce food waste, and ensure that nutrious food is accessible to all for generations to come.
