It's not too late to join! (September 2023)
Are you interested in learning how to grow food?
Do you want to have more control over your food sources?
Do you want to save money on your grocery bills?
Do you want to increase the amount of healthy veggies that you and your family eats?
This is not a community garden with individual plots. It is a small plot of land for every Community Farm member to tend to. Crops include: tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans, basil, rainbow chard, zucchini and more!
Become a Rhizome Farms Community Farmer !
What does this include?
LEARN how to grow food with
hands-on experience. Learn by doing, while also learning the basics of plant care to help you grow your own in the future. We will learn together and you will have the opportunity to work independently.
Take home the fruits of your labour: harvest whatever is in season at the time of your visit. See below to what is in season!
For the 2023 season, there is no commitment to hours or payment due. Hours are drop-in *RSVP required*
The cost has been waived this year in hopes to make this food security initiative more accessible to those that could really benefit from it!
Keep your eye on future Preserving workshops!
Let's learn how to preserve what we grow and enjoy them in the winter months when fresh produce is scarce. Workshops on jam-making, pickled hot peppers, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, pasta sauce, teas, etc!
Past harvest: peaches, plums, lemon balm, red clover,
Currently in season to harvest: basil, rainbow chard, apples, blackberries, tomatoes, a variety of peppers, eggplant
Current tasks as of September 2023: gleaning tomatoes, weeding, harvesting, pruning fruit trees, preserving/canning hot pepper rings and tomato sauce
The farm is located in St. Catharines, near Harvest Barn, bicycle accessible, and 1 km walk from the closest bus stop (no sidewalks).
