Ponderings and Beginnings:
Why garden in southern Ontario?
Ontario is one of the many areas in the country that can be found on the United Sates Department of Agriculture online food desert locator. As defined by the USDA, the term "food desert" is used to describe a low-income area with limited access to large supermarkets or grocery stores. This phenomenon may manifest in a high concentration of liquor stores or convenience marts in an area, rather than marketsthat carry fresh produce or locally produced food.

PITZER IN ONTARIO STUDENTS:Students from Pitzer College, located in Claremont, 8 miles northeast of Ontario, became interested in increasing access to good food in the area through the Pitzer in Ontario (PIO) program. Through this immersive, place-based program, Pitzer students study about local critical issues, from food justice to homelessness. Simultaneously, they intern with local individuals and organizations working for social justice, and conduct a semester-long community-based research project relevant to their internship sites. Students' passion and energy for food justice became applicable in the garden setting.
