The Sharing Farm
The Sharing Farm grows food to feed Richmond families in need. The Farm is run by community members to provide fresh, healthy, local produce to the less fortunate neighbours. The Sharing Farm operates by over 1,000 yearly volunteers and a small core of part-time staff. Their vegetables are on the plates of up to 2,000 people a week!
From their beginning collecting surplus fruit to give to the Richmond Food Bank, through growing vegetables on a small scale on donated land, The Sharing Farm Society now cultivates 4 acres in the multiple award winning Terra Nova Rural Park.
