Dill-icious

First introduced to us during our pilot Northern Food Systems Innovation Program with support from Manitoba Agriculture, dill quickly earned its place in our grow beds.
Arts Incubator Winnipeg 2 Jun 2025
Dill: From soil to simmer — this hardy northern herb brings a burst of freshness to our beds and our kitchens. A quiet favourite that’s become a returning star in our growing season.

Our Second Season of Growing Dill

This is our second year growing dill, and it’s quickly become one of our favourites! We were first introduced to this amazing plant during our pilot Northern Food Systems Innovation Program, supported by Manitoba Agriculture. Since then, it’s become a staple in our grow beds. This year, it was one of the very first plants we made sure to get into the soil — and it’s thriving.

Dill has not only added flavour to our meals but has become a symbol of how innovation and tradition can grow together in the North.

Administrator

The Arts Incubator - Winnipeg is a participatory arts collective and living lab, based in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. It's a space where innovation and creativity thrive. It's latest iteration was launched in 2021 with funding and support from the Canada Council for the Arts Digital Greenhouse. Today, working with students and faculty from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, we fuse traditional and participatory media arts with artificial intelligence, music, storytelling and community-driven, land-based artist residencies to cultivate new voices and bold ideas. Whether through collaborative projects or immersive experiences, our small but vibrant community supports creators to explore, experiment, and connect. Join us at the intersection of artistry, technology, culture and community—where every moment is a new opportunity to create.
