Spring 2021 - Summer 2024
What a journey! Overall, 2024 was our most successful growing year so far. We had more people working at the farm than ever before, and we (almost) doubled our donations to the food bank compared to the year before with about 760lbs of fresh, nutrient-dense vegetables donated.
In total we estimate we grew between 1500lbs and 2000lbs of fresh produce.
Thank you to all the volunteers and donors who made this possible!

We are at 675lbs donated at the Airdrie Foodbank!!
Over the past few weeks, we have donated 282lbs of zucchini, Swiss chard and tomatoes.
Our goal this year is 800lbs, we are only 125lbs away! This is after gophers, deer, rabbits and mice enjoyed our carrot, bean and pea crops, and ate over 500 heads of lettuce.
We would again like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to BLUEGRASS GARDEN CENTER and WILDROSE SEEDS for their massive donation this year.

We are open for sales!
We will be at the farm from 9am to noon, open for produce sales by donation. Bring some cash (sorry, no debit, credit or etransfer), and we will see what is ripe and ready to be harvested. Pay what you can, we don't have any set prices, our goal is to get healthy, sustainably grown food into the bellies of our community. 100% of our donations will go back into farm, allowing us to grow more food.

Where are our PSL lovers?
In not too long, we will be able to put the Pumpkin in PSL!
Our Sugar Pumpkins are growing beautifully. These will not be large, flavorless, carving pumpkins. Instead, they will be small and sweet pumpkins. Perfect for pies, tarts, breads and more.
We will be accepting donations in exchange for pumpkins in a few weeks.

What's your favorite way to eat your veggies?
Some of us like to mix them with flour, cocoa, eggs, and more. Chocolate zucchini cake is basically a salad, isn't it?

Have you ever wondered what 400 onions look like? We had an amazing harvest this year for onions. They are currently hanging in a team members garage, to allow them to dry properly so they last all winter long. We have grown red, yellow and white onions.
If you are interested in onions, all we ask in return is a donation, pay what you can. Please message us to arrange a pick up time.

We have Big news!! BLUEGRASS GARDEN CENTER has donated a truckload of garden soil and a truckload of compost to the Airdrie Urban Farm collective!! THANK YOU BLUEGRASS!! If you have never been to Bluegrass go check them out, they are located south of Cross Iron Mills. They have beautiful plants(indoor and outdoor), trees, seeds, and more. Their staff are super knowledgeable and always willing to help. And they are local!! We will need lots of help this weekend getting the beds topped up with the new soil and compost! #urbanfarm #AUFC #volunteerairdrie #growfoodgrowpeople #airdriefoodbank #bluegrasscgy #BlueGrassGardenCenter

Eat the Rainbow!! Fruits and veggies come in so many different colours, the colours as well as the taste and aroma is because they contain phytonutrients. Phytonutrients strengthen not only the plants immune system but also our immune systems, protecting us from chronic diseases. They also have potent anti-cancer and anti-heart disease effects. At the Airdrie Urban farm we LOVE to grow different colours, last year we grew FIVE different colours of potatoes, this year we have seeds for multiple colours of bean, beets, carrots, and more!! #growfoodgrowpeople #Eattherainbow #airdriefoodbank #aufc #urbanfarm #volunteerairdrie #growyourownfood #growyourownveggies #wildroseheritageseedcompany #wildroseheritageseeds https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/phytonutrients-paint-your-plate-with-the-colors-of-the-rainbow-2019042516501
