About CRUF BiHi
Common Roots BiHi Park is a community farm hidden at the bottom of Bayers Road, across from the Bayers Road Centre. Established in 2019, the farm is a public, community space where everyone is welcome to visit, spend time, and connect with the land and one another.
We aim to nurture physical, mental, environmental, and community health. For us, a healthy community is one where all people, regardless of race, gender identity, class, religion, ability, or appearance, feel welcomed, supported, and valued.
The farm includes allotment plots, a teaching garden, common gardens, a fruit orchard, and shared seating spaces. We host a wide range of programs, including volunteer opportunities, group visits, workshops, educational programming, and community events.
Teaching Garden
The teaching garden is where we grow fresh greens, vegetables, herbs, and flowers using ecological farming practices. This is where many hands-on learning experiences happen, so if you volunteer at the farm, you’ll likely find yourself planting, weeding, watering, or harvesting here.
Produce and flowers from the teaching garden are shared through the farm’s Free Food Pantry, distributed to volunteers, and used in on-farm programming.
Get Involved
Keen to get your hands in the soil and spend time outdoors? We’d love your help on the farm.
Volunteers support a wide range of seasonal tasks, including preparing garden beds, weeding and caring for plants, building infrastructure, moving soil, harvesting, and more.
