About CRUF BiHi
Common Roots Urban Farm BiHi is a community farm at the bottom of Bayers Road, across from the Bayers Road Centre. Established in 2019, we are a public community space where all members of the community are welcome to visit and spend time.
We hope the gardens encourage physical, mental, environmental and community health, which we define as a community in which all people, regardless of race, gender-identity, class, religion, ability or appearance feel welcomed and supported.
Our farm is made up of allotment plots, a market garden, common plots and community seating areas. We host a variety of programs including volunteer programs, group visits, workshops and educational opportunities, and community events. Our market garden grows vegetables and flowers for sale to local businesses and at our market stand, and for donation to volunteers, community members and community organizations.
Market Garden
Our market garden grows fresh greens, vegetables, herbs and flowers using ecological farming practices. If you come to volunteer at the farm, you will probably find yourself planting, weeding, watering or harvesting here.
Produce and flowers from the market garden are sold to local businesses, at our market stand, and donated to volunteers, community members and community projects.
Get Involved
Want to get your hands dirty and work in the sun? We would love to have you help out on the farm! We have drop-in volunteer shifts throughout the season and also host group visits for community groups, camps, schools, companies and organizations.
Volunteers often find themselves preparing beds for planting, weeding and tending to annual and perennial plants, building beds and moving soil, harvesting, or tending to other farm tasks.
