In her work and activism, Heather has worked extensively on connecting local farmers and consumers, and on local food supply micro-lending, young farmer training, local organic seed security, developing and supporting community and cooperative farms and the marketing of organic seasonal salad mix.
She is a co-founder/farmer with Glorious Organics Co-op in the Fraser Valley and a resident member of Fraser Common Farm Cooperative, a community farm in Township of Langley, BC where she has been farming since 1985.
