We nurture life, soil, vegetables, flowers, new growers and connectedness in the Territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ / Nations
We grow food, flowers, berries and fruit using ecological growing methods on a 1 acre urban farm and distribute it to over 1000 people every growing season. We currently operate a 1 acre urban farm, accessible community gardens and a therapeutic gardening program on Vancouver Coastal Health land in Marpole as well as therapeutic gardens for families in South Vancouver.
Volunteers are huge at Farmers on 57th! We wouldn’t exist without them. Our volunteer programs are varied – if you are interested in farming, food, dietetics, community building – and interested in being outdoors in nature and working with others – please get in touch 🙂
