James Partanen began growing and preserving food at age six while gardening with his grandparents. Born in Vancouver, he grew up on a farm in Northern Ontario experiencing first-hand how food gets from field to table. James helped open West End Food Co-op‘s Food Hub to provide a place for community engagement and education about food (in)security and access to quality food for all.

James joins us at the Dep to discuss the benefits of group canning and other programs at WEFC

Every Tuesday at 7pm, The Depanneur invites a local food personality to talk about something that interests them.
