Willow Springs embraces local food and believes food brings people together to celebrate, share cultures, be nurtured and learn skills. All our food focused, social purpose enterprises provide training and paid employment for adults with disabilities. We offer food making workshops, catering, food service programs for school & community groups, Lappe Nordic Ski Centre and the public.
Willow Springs facilitates therapeutic gardening programs with a number of community organizations and groups in Thunder Bay. We work with professional gardeners and people trained in Horticultural Therapy. We are experts at growing delicious food and beautiful plants and flowers in our short but beautiful Northern growing zone.
