Wheelbarrow Farm

The pigglets have been born!

Wheelbarrow Farm is locatated an hour northeast of Toronto on 10 acres of rolling field and forest. We grow mixed vegetables and raise animals with care and respect for the local ecosystem. Our mission is to build an diversified farm that participates in the creation of a more equitable and sustainable local food economy.

Our vegetables are available through CSA shares, a farm stand and at Karma Co-op grocery store. In an effort to make organic food accessible in low-income neighbourhoods, we have teamed with the East Scarborough Community Festival Market through the Good Food Market program. If you would like to learn more about this program or to donate, please follow this link. We also donate produce to food banks.

We utilize ecological growing practices including mulch, cover crops, hand tools, and compost. We do not use synthetic fertilizers or any type of herbicide or insceticide.

Throughout the year we host workshops and provide apprenticeships for those wanting to learn about organic agriculture.

Our pigs are raised on rotating pastures, which affords them a more natural lifestyle. They are able to roam around, dig, roll in mud, and whatever else it is they like doing.
