Caledon farmer joins climate activists in court challenge against CPP manager
When Rav Singh began farming vegetables in Caledon five years ago, after a long period of working as an environmental educator, she saw it as a way to reconnect with her roots and honour her family’s heritage. Her parents were farmers in India before migrating to Canada, and working the land represented a return to tradition and culture.
“I just felt really called to connect with the land on a very deep level and to grow food for people,” Singh told The Pointer. “I wanted to respect and acknowledge my ancestral connection to agriculture in farming because my family, they were farmers back in India… I just really wanted to make sure that folks who were looking for cultural foods like okra, bitter melon had the same type of choice that people have when they go to buy something like tomatoes or cucumbers.”
At age 27, Singh founded Shade of Miti—with “miti” meaning soil in both Hindi and Punjabi—a name chosen to pay tribute to her ancestors and underline her belief that the planet’s health begins beneath our feet. For her, the farm became not only a source of nourishment but also a statement linking food production with climate justice.
