Save that big shopping trip for Feb. 9: Capers to donate 5% of all sales to FarmFolk CityFolk

FarmFolkCityFolk

If you like to shop at Capers/Whole Foods in Kits, plan on doing your big shopping trip on Thursday, February 9 when 5% of sales will be donated to Kitsilano’s FarmFolk CityFolk.

The cost of my grocery bill at Capers/Whole Foods sometimes makes me nauseous so at least this is one day I can feel good about it! FarmFolk CityFolk will also have a table if you are interested in learning more about their work cultivating a local, sustainable food system.
