Shout out to 🌱

We love when Tanya and the crew come visit to pick up fresh produce for their programs! Such friendly faces and smiles all around!

Did you know, Sole Food Farms donates around a third of the produce we grow to food security organizations and food insecure individuals in Vancouver? We love partnering with the folks at Saige because they get our produce directly to folks who need it!

🌿 Can a city grow its own food? This powerful read says YES — and shows you how.

📚 Staff Pick of the Month: Farm the City

As food security becomes a pressing global issue, Farm the City is more than just an inspiring vision — it’s a practical roadmap for transforming urban spaces into thriving farms. From rooftops to vacant lots, this book is a call to action for greener, more resilient cities.

💬 Why Molly chose it:
"I picked Farm the City because I believe urban areas must take food security seriously. This book doesn’t romanticize—it gets into the nitty-gritty of building real urban farms. Think soil tests, containers, compost, permits, and beyond. It’s honest, helpful, and deeply hopeful."

Packed with expert insights, real-world case studies, and hands-on advice, Farm the City shows how growing food where we live can reshape not just our diets, but our communities and economies.
