APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN!

Farm Collective

Want to grow food alongside hardworking peers in the city? Metanoia Farm Collective members give weekly labour to grow food and maintain the Farm Space together,
​co-creating the conditions for us all to get the benefits of fresh food, access to growing and gathering space, and social connections with other farmers. 
Gives:
  • Farm Labour contribution of 2/hr per week for 18/22 weeks of the growing season (4 weeks off)
  • Farm Dues. A sliding scale of $100/$150/$200 per season​
Gets:
  • ​Either a Vegetable or Land Share (see below)
  • Social Connections
  • Skill building and knowledge sharing​
  • Access to urban farm space

Vegetable Share

A significant harvest of garlic, carrots, beets, squash, potatoes, kale, cabbage, zucchini and onions, distributed August - October.

​

Land Share

Your own community garden plot between 100 and 320 square feet. Includes access to water (rain and city) and hose use, spent mushroom compost, wheelbarrows and tools.

All Land Shares also include a bonus harvest - a small fall harvest of vegetables from collective fields (including garlic, carrots, beets, squash).

Hen Collective

Interested in hyper-local eggs from hens you help care for? Then the Hen Collective is a perfect fit for you! Following a Community Shared Agriculture format, Hen Collective members receive a percentage of the total egg collection every two weeks, while contributing to hen care and costs. 
​Gives:
  • Hen Labour Contribution. This consists of 5 labour shifts throughout the growing season. Each labour shift is around 30 minutes in length and includes collecting and labelling eggs, and feeding and watering hens.
  • Hen dues. Sliding scale of $60/$80/$100 per season
Gets:
  • Egg share. You get the equivalent of one hen’s lay for the duration of 20 weeks! In 2025, hen herders picked up an average of 14-15 eggs every second week, for a total of around 12 dozen eggs in the season.
  • Access to urban farm space
  • Hen interaction!

Farm Gate Sales

Purchasing our produce is another great way to support the Farm! In the fall we sell hard-neck garlic varieties and a diversity of squash, both big and small. Depending on the year, we may have other fruit, vegetables, or even some honey for sale throughout the season!​
