Canada: Growing Urban Farmers
Zawadi Farm teams up with Homestead TO to launch a 5-year Urban Farm Incubation Program. This program is one step towards our goal of growing urban farmers in Toronto, Canada.
Homestead TO whose vision is for Torontonians to have the skills and confidence to grow their own food in whatever space they have available, to have access to healthy, affordable, and locally grown produce, and to make a difference in their community and in our environment. Feel the soil in your hands and join our Grow Veggies program!
We also offer an online-only stream for those who prefer not to travel to our urban farm at Downsview Park. The online sessions include the full curriculum delivered via webinars and workshops online, including optional activities for your own garden. Online program participants will have lots of opportunity to ask questions and will receive troubleshooting advice about their own garden. Note, online-only participants can participate from anywhere, but our curriculum focuses on growing in a southern-Ontario climate.
