On August 10th, the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) announced that stage 4 water restrictions were in effect, banning all outdoor watering for areas of the Sunshine Coast that are on the Chapman Water System. This follows several weeks of dry weather and two heatwaves, bringing the level of available water to dangerously low levels. Under stage 4 restrictions, farms in the SCRD were not exempt, meaning that local food crops were under threat, as farmers were not allowed to water their crops. This problem was a major threat to local food security, as most Coastal farms provide food almost exclusively for local consumption. In response, the One Straw Society, in partnership with Persephone Brewing, sprung into action immediately to deliver well water to farmers from several different locations, filling 1000 litre totes so that farmers could save their crops. In the meantime, the Sunshine Coast Farmers' Institute directly lobbied the SCRD for an exemption from stage 4 restrictions for soil-based (produce-growing) farms. On August 17th, the SCRD Board of Directors held a special emergency meeting and passed a motion put forward by Area E (Elphinstone) Director Donna McMahon to allow for a two week exemption from stage 4 restrictions for 16 registered farms in the SCRD.

Sunshine Coast Palate magazine editor Jody Franklin hosted a roundtable Zoom discussion concerning the impact of drought conditions on local food security. Joining Jody to discuss the matter was Donna McMahon, elected Director of SCRD Area E; Raquel Kolof of the Sunshine Coast Farmers' Institute; and Casandra Fletcher of the One Straw Society. The participants take a deep dive into the current water crisis, speaking to the struggles of farmers to save their crops, rapid community action to mitigate the crisis, the local government response, and the future of effective water management in the region as the global climate crisis deepens.

The Brewers Coast is uniting to conserve water on The Sunshine Coast! With the recent level 4 water restrictions all the breweries and cideries on the coast are pitching in with help from Sunshine Coast Credit Union, to collect waste and well water and use our totes and trucks to distribute it to local farms that so desperately need it.
Please always use water responsibly and consider saving your grey water for your garden or someone else’s. Local food security is a foundation of safe and inclusive communities. Let’s all do our part.
Big thanks to all those participating in this initiative:
Tapworks Brewing
Sunday Cider
Banditry Cider
The 101 Brewhouse + Distillery
Townsite Brewing
The Bricker Cider Company

It's on! One Straw Society is working with Persephone Brewing to put a bandaid on this water crisis that risks the loss of our food in farms & gardens up and down the Coast.


With support from Sunshine Coast Credit Union, we’re building a partnership of land owners that have good wells, trucks to transport water, and breweries & cideries to lend 1000L water totes for storage. It’s pretty inspiring to see how a community can come together!

We’ll fill totes (or a tanker truck) from high producing wells near you, bring that water to your garden or field, and fill your onsite storage - cisterns, totes, barrels, or garbage cans. Don’t have water storage? We’ll drop off a tote for a few days or weeks (free, thanks to our brewery & cidery friends), or better yet, you can buy a tote or barrel at cost. You’ll have rainwater storage forever more. 💦🌱💦 Sound investment it seems these days.

Please help us find water, people and trucks to get all that groundwater to our carrots & peas!

>>> Got a well that could fill a tote (or 10)?
>>> Got a truck that could do a delivery to a neighbour?

>>> Got time to help coordinate, or do water deliveries for a few hours?
>>> Need water for your farm or garden?
