More yards in Vancouver, BC have been converted to farm space! The young farmer movement grows! As part of our ongoing collaboration with Vancouver Urban Farm Society – we have two Vancouver potlucks in August. The first on Wednesday, August 14th with City Beet Farm, and the second at Southlands Heritage Farm Saturday, August 24th.
City Beet Farm Tour & Potluck – August 14th
Come join us for a tour around Mount Pleasant of City Beet Farm’s front/side/backyard farms! After finding their farm legs during an organic farm internship on Reroot Organic Farm in Harriston, Ontario, Ruth and Katie launched their first season of their peddle-powered operation in Vancouver. They run a CSA and grow on converted lawns in Riley Park and Mount Pleasant neighbourhoods.
