I am truly delighted to bring this conversation to you today. I had a chance to interview Mariette Sluyter of Whitaker Farm. Whitaker farm is well known for their CSA program and so I wanted to ask Mariette all about her CSA, and it is honestly really inspiring to hear her talk about this. Mariette and her partner, Brian, own Whitaker Farm, a 26 acre farm in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island in BC. They have been farming there since 2014 and acknowledge that they are privileged to farm on the unceded territory of the  Komoks First Nation. They believe in building a sustainable food system and ensuring soil health for generations to come. They use organic and sustainable practices and  take it a step further by ensuring their staff get a living wage.  Not only do they offer a living wage, they also offer an inclusive workplace that is rooted in respect.
