Our objective is to encourage organic and alternative food production in Canada by improving accessibility to quality organic farming content online, while upgrading farmers capacities to access that information. This will help to provide farmers and prospective farmers with the tools to function effectively in the new economy. Because we realize that a significant proportion of farmers are located in remote areas and dont have access to, or cannot afford, highspeed Internet access, we have made this site quickloading and therefore dialup friendly. For our first two years, we were supported by a federal Canadian government grant. During this time we developed the CyberHelp for Organic Farmers web site into one of the best online farming resources. We started in BC but quickly became a service for Canadian farmers and many others too. Some of our material has a BC emphasis but we welcome input from across the country. Because this kind of funding cannot be extended, we have sought sponsorship from other sources.
