Seedy Saturday brought local gardeners, seed sharing, and growing inspiration to Kimberley, kicking off the 2026 growing season. Hundreds of seed packets went home with community members — with seed libraries, workshops, and growing opportunities continuing throughout the spring.

Approximately 150 community members gathered at the Cranbrook Public Library for the city’s first Seedy Saturday — connecting with fellow gardeners, sharing knowledge, and picking up seeds for the growing season ahead.

On January 22, 2026, the Kimberley Cranbrook Food Network hosted a Farmer’s Forum & Appreciation Event at the Cranbrook Public Library, bringing together farmers, food producers, school food coordinators, funders, and community organizations for open, solution-focused dialogue on regional food security. This post shares key takeaways, resources, and next steps from the day.

Two new job opportunities are available at Cranbrook Urban Farm for people who care about local food, community connection, and hands-on work. These hydroponic farm roles are part of a community-focused social enterprise, with both positions aiming to be filled by February 5, 2026.
