Even wanted to have a vegetable garden but didn’t know where to start? Or, maybe you’re a long-time gardener who would like to meet other like-minded folk while growing a few tomatoes in a community atmosphere. Or perhaps you’ve just moved into a new apartment or home that doesn’t have the yard space needed to accommodate a garden.
The Acadia Farm can be YOUR garden.
There will be tools, soil, seeds and water; knowledgeable people to give you advice; and very frequent BBQs and other fun stuff. Grow your own food - you’ll save money on groceries, be confident that your food is of the absolute best quality (no sketchy chemicals on this stuff), and probably have a great time while you’re at it.
Parcels of land are available for use by the general public, for the season. We are asking for a contribution of $10 which would cover use of the land (we’ll feed it plenty of good compost and manure…), access to our (ever-expanding) tool supply and whatever seeds we have lying around. Send us an email (info@acadiafarm.org) or call 697-2753 if you’re interested! We’ll keep you in-the-know about how to get started.
There are many other ways you might want to get involved…
Help us build a shed, donate some old garden tools, tell us how you grow your tomatoes, plant seedlings with us in the greenhouse, put us in contact with your wealthy, generous aunt … or even the neighbours’ kid who works at Home Depot, bring down a bucket of compost, help us balance the books, tell us about a great eco-minded funding opportunity, bring your tiller down to the field, tell your neighbours, help us design a website, tell us about your beautiful garden, put us in touch with your farmer friends (we’ll trade labour for compost or manure!), tell us what you’d like to see in a community garden, or just let us know that you’re interested!
