Tara Ramkhelawan began a degree in Space and Communication Science many years ago, but while taking an indefinite break to raise her 3 children, found a passion working and volunteering in community garden projects, markets, and health promotion.

She served as a Tenant Representative in Toronto Community Housing for over 10 years. She has been the volunteer coordinator of the Waterfront Good Food Market since 2008. She worked on FoodShare’s Good Food Market program supporting community markets across the city of Toronto for 7 years. And she is now tending plants, farmers, and community at Flemo Farm. She is amazed by the power of good food to heal and create community, and aspires to respect food for the miracle it is.
