About the Farmhouse Farm

The Farmhouse Farm is a micro-farm, a Community Supported Agriculture business, a skillsharing space, and an ongoing experiment in autonomous urban living.

From this standard rental house yard in the city of Vancouver, Canada (located on Coast Salish territory) we grow vegetables for ourselves and several other households and deliver them once a week by bicycle from May till October.  We also offer workshops and courses on Permaculture and organic agriculture techniques for growing food in the city cheaply and sustainably.

The Farmhouse Farm is only one of the many projects happening at The Farmhouse — check out the main House Blog at farmhouseblog.wordpress.com

    Hi,

    I would be very interested in taking your urban farming course but just learned about it today and it looks like you’ve started already. Will you be offering this course later in the year?

    Thank you,
    Michael.
