Day Visit Programs:
Dig It!
This program hosts youth aged 10-18 with their chaperones at our site for 2-3 hours. Led by farmers, we provide farm-based education related to BC Curriculum and hands on diggin’ in the earth. Fees range, $25 per youth and up. Subsidies may be available. Fees support our farm operations and social programs.
Too many kids have never seen how our food grows or dug up a carrot themselves. Let’s change that!
Farm Fit!
Company Team Building or other groups: Farm programs aren’t just for kids! We host groups of adults who are keen to pitch in and learn about urban farming. Visits usually run 2-4 hours. A donation is requested, which supports our social programs and food donation streams.
Tours
We regularly host group tours of our site. We love to share what we are doing here! Visitors often leave here with lavender wands and kale bouquets. Get in touch for availability.
