Video: Fresh City Farm in Toronto


Fresh City Farms, at Downsview Park in Toronto, is Canada's largest commercial city farm. Fresh City was founded by Ran Goel in 2011. From the outset our operations were based at Downsview Park, where we initially sub- let greenhouse space and a half-acre parcel of land. In 2012, we expanded our plot at Downsview Park to over an acre and launched our member farmer program. In 2013, Fresh City hosted the inaugural "Open Farm" event at the Fresh City Downsview Farm, which now attracts almost a thousand people annually.
