Xola Lololi is a RasTafari elder in our community and a proud farmer.
I saw him at Kensington Market yesterday and I bought these cloves of garlic off him as we discussed the lack of black or African farmers here in Ontario and even in our own parent countries. We discussed how some continue to use the psychological backlash of slavery as an excuse to not put their hands in the dirt, yet if that is the case, MANY of us will starve or eat the genetically manipulated food that is sold in this worldwide marketplace, poisoning ourselves and our children.
What we may need to do is to encourage more farmers by supporting the ones that we currently have by purchasing their products and elevating their businesses. In that vein I encourage you all to come out to the Farmers Market at Dufferin Park, opposite Dufferin Mall. The market is open from 2:00pm – 6:00pm, this Thursday 4th August, 2016.
Those tired of ingesting Monsanto food can come buy fresh foods from any and all of the farmers present and support rally tasty and fresh organic foods.
The market @ Dufferin Grove is open from 3:00pm – 7:00pm, every Thursday.
