Many factors impact farming capacity for each of us, including summer plans, physical abilities, social energy, and many other things - some of which we can’t anticipate before the season begins. 

While the farm team and the farm space also have limitations on what we can offer, we are always open to conversation about how we can shift our structure and expectations to make participation work for you, whether that’s conversation as you are considering applying, or amid changes in circumstances part-way through the season.

​General Accessibility

  • Free parking, approx. 25 metres from farm gate
  • Vehicle access for drop-off available at farm gate 
  • Fields start within 2 metres of farm gate, accessible by a wide grass path
  • Whole farm navigable by a (bumpy) central grass path 4-5 ft wide
  • Weather impacts navigability of grass path - rains can cause mud and flooding
  • Lots of open space and some seating accommodations including picnic table and benches available at farm centre
  • Shelter from sun, rain and wind available in the centre of the farm 
  • Closest accessible bathrooms are approx. 50 metres from farmgate 
Community Growers
  • Many farm tasks require physical movement like bending over for sustained periods of time and/or sitting in narrow 1-2 foot paths, pulling weeds, pushing wheelbarrows, watering with a garden hose, etc. 
  • With exceptions for severe weather, Farm-Share Labour Times will go forward in most weather conditions, including hot days, cold days, rainy days, smoky days, windy days. 
  • Unless otherwise agreed upon, sharers will be expected to take initiative to sign up for Farm-Share Labour Times, show up on time for these events, and communicate with Farm Coordinators when unable to follow through.
Hen Herders
  • Hen labour tasks require physical movement including lifting heavy pails of feed, crouching to reach into the coop, and dragging the water hose across the farm. Let us know if you have any questions about the details of these tasks to determine if they’re a good fit for you. ​

Some accommodations we can offer include:

  • Priority location for Land Shares closest to gate, water, shelter 
  • Figuring out together which on-farm labour tasks can work for you
  • Exploring possible off-farm/admin tasks to take the place of on-farm physical labour tasks
  • Re-evaluating expectations re: time commitment, regularity, and follow-through on commitments to reflect your capacity; re-visiting throughout season if needed​
