Building community by nature, growing food for life

One Straw Society has been building gardens, education, events, and community on the Sunshine Coast community for over 26 years.

The goal? To create vibrant, sustainable, local food systems.

One Straw brings people together to share valuable skills, knowledge & resources, and celebrate our human connections around food. Programs range from community gardens, food waste reduction initiatives and workshops to seed exchanges and potlucks. They also support emergency preparedness and building local economy!

Soup Stories: One Straw is looking for seniors to lead a day in the kitchen with a small group, creating your signature, favourite soup. Seniors lead the charge, casually mentoring the young folks to chop, stir and measure, while sharing stories about your childhood in the kitchen, that veggie in the garden, or your grandmother’s classic recipe.

The vat of soup is shared with the neighbourhood, while enjoying conversation on recent topics in a “food for thought” exchange.
