Kootenay Local Agricultural Society is a not for profit Kootenay based local agricultural organization dedicated to the production and promotion of local agriculture and products. As the owner and certifier of the Kootenay Mountain Grown label, we are responsible for ensuring that only farmers and processors that meet the Kootenay Mountain Grown standards for organic agriculture can market their product as Kootenay Mountain Grown. We support the goals of Community Food Security, which means that all people have dignified access to food that is safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate, and which has been produced in a manner that is environmentally, and socially sustainable. We operate a tool library with tools for small-scale sustainable agriculture available for rent.
