Adopt a Crop to Feed Food Insecure Community Members

Help feed families by Adopting a Crop and supporting Edwin Binney's Community Farm & Education Centre. The Farm is a food security initiative that grows and harvests food using sustainable methods. All produce is donated to community food programs, shelters, food banks, etc. Additionally, educational programming is run at The Farm for school groups, camps, and youth centres to teach about growing food, reducing food waste and understanding the local ecology. 

Adopting a Crop ensures we can continue with the maintenance and growth of that crop throughout the season to produce the highest yield and therefore feed as many individuals and families as we can.
