We have the privilege and honour to work on this land that is not ours. This is the ancestral and unceded homelands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), stó:lō (Sto:lo), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Coast Salish peoples. As settlers, as farmers, and as educators, we acknowledge the harm that farming and schooling has done to Indigenous Peoples and the land across this region. We work towards ongoing reconciliation as listeners, food sharers, and land stewards.

    

Thank You for Growing with Fresh Roots

Fresh Roots has cultivated learning and leadership countless children and youth to learn about land and food systems, build leadership skills, and grow confidence. We have strengthened connections between schools and food systems, provided tens of thousands of pounds of fresh vegetables to our community, and played a central role as a community builder. We are deeply proud of what we’ve built together and the impact it has had.

Like many community-based non-profits, Fresh Roots has faced ongoing sustainability challenges. After careful consideration of what our resources can realistically support, the Board of Directors has made the painful decision to wind down Fresh Roots Urban Farm Society.

In light of this decision, all growing and programming is paused indefinitely.

We hope the seeds of change we have planted together will continue to nourish our community, even as they take root in new ways.
