Situated at the edge of the city, we have been gradually building up the soil on marginal land to grow an abundance of food for our rural/urban community. Our tiny, yet ambitious farm now produces over 40 varieties of vegetables, herbs, berries, flowers and vegetable starts, as well as habitat for birds, bees and countless other living organisms. We continue to learn as we go about how best to nurture the land, capture carbon as we build up the soil, and create a healthy agro-ecosystem that can be resiliant in the face of so many challenges to come.
