Help grow our family Market Garden in remote northern BC Canada
The experience
We are a small family run farm supplying market garden veggies and micro greens to our community. Our small operation is developing a sustainable community of living to produce healthy produce in harsher northern climates where the growing season is limited. Not everything will grow up here so come and learn about different growing techniques and different varieties of crops that allow Us to be a productive food source in our society.
