Miscellaneous
Local farmers and businesses are coming together to provide oats to families in need. Roy Klym is a local producer just northwest of Regina, and he has kick-started the Farm2Kitchen program with a donation of 67,000 bags of oats (valued at nearly $500,000). The Klym’s company Condi seeds will clean the oats, and Regina based Avena Foods will mill & process the oats making them ready to eat. From there local flax company, CanMar Foods will package and bag the oats, and the Regina Food Bank will distribute them across Southern Saskatchewan. Klym joins Gormley to talk about why he was inspired to start up Farm2Kitchen, an idea he hopes will forever change the way local food banks secure and distribute food.
