NEW LIFE AT EDGEWOOD
(From Ruth Bowes and the Jones Family)

An Update from Edgewood Farm:

Camp Edgewood is now home to ecologically grown produce! Jones Family Greens, the new owners, (www.jonesfamilygreens.ca) are farming approximately 2 acres of what once was the sports field (area near the pool and cabins).

Matt Jones is lead farmer, and is generously sharing the farm’s news with the Eastern Synod, but is also asking that people not visit the farm directly unless they have made arrangements in advance (jones_matt@rogers.com).

Produce is currently available on Wednesdays at the Rockwood Farmers’ Market (4-7pm) and Saturday at Waterdown Farmers’ Market (8am-1pm). Crops include many different organic/heritage varieties of lettuce, kale, kohlrabi, broccoli, fennel, tomatoes, beets, winter squash, cucumbers, parsley, onions, and cilantro.

Future plans include a wash station at the in-line Cabin, a large greenhouse in the center of the old sports field, and a Farm Store in Berner Hall.

Currently the family uses the old Chapel for COVID safe family gatherings and drying of garlic.

In addition to the 12 acre farm property including the majority of the camp buildings, the Director’s house & picnic shelter are home to a lovely family of five. Cedar Lodge is being demolished to make room for a new home for a family of four from Guelph. The 38 acres of wetlands, woods, creek and trails transferred to rare Charitable Research Reserve and are under their stewardship. Parking for the trails is at Memorial Park and access is near the end of Park Street.

All three families tapped the maple trees this spring for maple syrup. Keeping some traditions alive!

The Jones’ are also offering two crosses from the Chapel at Edgewood. If someone would like one please contact Matt at jones_matt@rogers.com.

Canadian Lutheran World Relief invites you to pray for the people of Haiti, and to consider making a gift as we join leading Canadian aid agencies – through the Humanitarian Coalition – in launching an appeal to raise funds and rush emergency assistance to those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

With numbers expected to rise, it is so far reported that more than 1,400 people were killed and over 6,000 injured by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that devastated parts of the country on Saturday. Hundreds are still missing, thousands of families have lost their homes and schools, bridges and other vital infrastructure were destroyed. Rescue efforts are being further hampered by tropical storm Grace, all at a time when the country is already grappling with acute poverty and food insecurity, political unrest and COVID-19.

In response to this disaster, CLWR's partners on the ground are already responding by helping ensure emergency shelter, sanitation, hygiene and trauma care for those affected.

Please pray for those affected and for the partners and community members who are rushing to bring help and comfort.

CLWR is accepting donations now on its website at clwr.org/Haiti. Donations can also be made by phoning our office at 1-800-661-2597 (Monday to Thursday, 9:00 – 16:00 CDT) or by mailing a cheque to 600-177 Lombard Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3B 0W5.
