We convert vacant urban lots into therapeutic growing spaces for personal and community wellbeing. Our elevated urban farming experience lets you share in the abundance while helping turn empty spaces into thriving sources of food and flowers.
JOIN NOW!Members participate in a variety of seasonal activities designed to nurture your relationship with nature. Together we grow and harvest fresh vegetables, build stunning bouquets, craft quality compost, save our favourite seeds, and meditate in lush meadows.
Many hands make light work. No more worrying if you forgot to water your garden, or whether you should have planted an extra row of tomatoes. We all take care of the farm together so nothing is missed. We approach all activities with a sense of lighthearted experimentation and invite others to do the same. We believe that farming should be a lot of fun, not just a lot of work!
Imagine an outdoor eco-spa mixed with a community garden. Enjoy a mint tea in the shade, give your back a break in the hammock, or just go for a stroll in the messy meadow to refresh yourself in the beauty of nature.
The club supports other therapeutic growing initiatives and food access organizations with plants, materials, and volunteer hours. Your membership supports Calgarians across the city with access to therapeutic growing activities.
An inviting plateau inside a diverse community hub in northeast Calgary, Lot 01 has two acres (0.8ha) of member space inside a five acre (2 ha) parcel. The member area will be dedicated to intensive growing in the Production Gardens, Hoop House Clubhouse and Compost Patch. Outside the trellis fence, a public walking path travels along the extended Messy Meadow and Shrubby Shelterbelt, showcasing native plants and pond views.
Hoop House Clubhouse
Our clubhouse shelters plants and people. It's the nucleus of the farm.
Production Garden
No dig raised beds of food and flowers. High intensity, small footprint.
Compost Patch
Soil health built with local materials. Yard waste becomes brown gold.
Messy Meadow
A mix of 30-50 types of food and flowers. Low maintenance abundance.
Shrubby Shelterbelt
Mix with berry and tea shrubs. Provides windbreak and texture.
Hammock Islands
A place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty and sensory nature bath.
We support our farm club with a variety of paid programs that ensure our membership remains free and open to all Calgarians. Membership benefits are extended to everyone who takes part in any program.
In collaboration with Parks Foundation Calgary we offer charitable receipts to individuals and organizations interested in supporting our capital projects with financial sponsorship.
With gratitude we recognize Mohʼkinsstis and Treaty 7 territory, the traditional and ancestral territory of The Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, îethka Nakoda Nations: Chiniki, Bearspaw, Goodstoney and Tsuut’ina Nation. We recognize that this territory is home to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation within Alberta Districts 5 and 6. We acknowledge the many First Nations, and Métis, who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on.
