Welcome to the FASNO Website
Join us, the Food Action Society of the North Okanagan, in cultivating a healthy, sustainable, regional, food system. The local projects we administer or support are listed below.
Cook it. Try it. Like it!
This Year the Food Action Society is administering a 5-week after school cooking program called “Cook it. Try it. Like it! for children in grades 4-7. It will run seven times in various community agencies and schools in Vernon, Lumby and Armstrong until June 2015. Children will learn to prepare healthy snacks, where their food comes from, and how to be food safe.

Community Gardens
Grow your Own!
Even without land of your own you can grow your own produce in your own plot in one of the three local Community Gardens. The Food Action Society has supported the development of the Community Garden Network to date and is an active partner in its continued operations and development.
Enjoy Fresh Local Produce at a Discounted Rate All Year Long!
