Excerpt:
“Expanding the farm will allow us to increase that impact, creating more farming businesses and growing more food locally.”
The expansion represents a nearly 50 per cent growth for the urban farm. It was made possible with help from the City of Toronto and provincial government, which helped the resource centre secure the land.
The farm is currently about 0.8-hectares in size and supports 17 farmers who each maintain a plot just over 200 square metres in size.
“We have some who are really trying to make farming like a primary source of income. Others it’s more supplementary to what they’re already doing,” Perttula said.
“But there’s a real like sense of joy that the farmers have from being out here working in this space, contributing to food security in their community.”
