Farm Work Parties

Thanks to our many volunteers who show up every time to help out in so many ways.
Wednesday work parties run regularly now from 1-3pm each week.
Come and join the Board members, farmers and volunteers at Haliburton Farm for a work party. Weeding, digging, planting, composting, harvesting, putting up greenhouses... you name it, we'll be doing it at some point over the growing season on this certified organic community farm.
During the Saturday work parties (held every 2nd Saturday of the month) we break for potluck lunch. Please come dressed for the weather: boots, raingear, hat, sunscreen... This is a fantastic way to share community and to learn about organic
growing from experienced farmers.
Please watch for further work party updates or call the farm at 250 658 0758 to leave a message. The farm is located at 741 Haliburton Rd; directions for getting there by bus, bike or car are here.
Interested in receiving a weekly basket of fresh, seasonal produce? Then join Haliburton Farm's Food Basket Program - an innovative way to receive a weekly basket of seasonal produce and become closer to the farmers who grow the food. Members receive personal service from the farmers on pick-up day and have questions answered on how the produce was grown or how to prepare it. In addition an information e-mail with the list of produce, recipes and farm news is sent out during the duration of the program.
