We operate two social enterprise farms that facilitate social, environmental, economic and educational benefits for the community. They are the first step in building a plant to plate local food system on the North Shore. Loutet Farm is located at 14th & Rufus Ave., and the Sutherland Schoolyard Market Garden is located at 18th & Sutherland Ave. We sell our produce at Farm Gate Sales, Wednesday 2-6pm and Saturdays 10-2pm at Loutet Farm till end of growing season.
