Who We Are
The Red Deer Food Asset Map is a collaborative, community-driven project designed to connect residents with food resources, local producers, and organizations working to improve food security across Central Alberta.
This initiative grew out of years of community conversations and grassroots efforts focused on building a stronger local food system. Early local food advocates and groups, including members of ReThink Red Deer, Common Ground Garden Project, and the broader Local Food Movement Group — helped lay the groundwork for what would eventually become this shared digital resource.
In 2024, renewed collaboration among community partners and the Red Deer Food Bank Society helped bring the map to life with updated data, expanded categories, and long-term sustainability in mind. With support from the City of Red Deer’s Environmental Initiatives Grant, the project continues to evolve as a living, public tool for residents, service providers, and local producers alike.
Recognizing that food security involves both emergency access and sustainable production, the Red Deer Food Asset Map highlights resources ranging from food banks and community meals to farms, markets, and growers within a 30-minute radius of the city. Together, these connections reflect a shared vision for a healthier, more food-secure Red Deer.
As residents of Treaty 6 & 7 territory, we honour the land’s abundance and the generations of people who have cultivated and shared food here. We remain committed to fostering strong, reciprocal relationships that support local food resilience for all.
The Red Deer Food Asset Map is maintained in collaboration with the Red Deer Food Bank Society and supported by ongoing contributions from local students, volunteers, and community partners. The project continues to evolve as a living public resource, updated periodically to reflect new programs, producers, and initiatives that strengthen food security in Central Alberta.
