In this episode of Growing Guelph, we sit down with Tom Armitage, Manager of The SEED, a community food project of the Guelph Community Health Centre. The SEED is redefining how we think about food insecurity—with a focus on dignity, access, and collaboration. From sliding scale markets to Fresh Food prescriptions, The SEED is at the heart of building a more equitable food system in Guelph.
We trace Tom’s personal journey from studying graphic design to organic agriculture, and his deep roots in local food through programs like Backyard Bounty. Tom also shares how his graduate work under Dr. Evan Fraser helped shape the foundation of The SEED.
Thanks for tuning in—and for sticking with the show after a short hiatus! More conversations with local changemakers are coming your way soon. Until then, let’s keep Growing Guelph!
