Farm in The Village

Farm in the Village is a PACT Urban Food Initiative that has been developed to help provide a platform of positive change for youth within our community.

 

This life skills program will help youth develop a sense of self-knowledge and self-esteem, as well as gain an appreciation for the environment that surrounds them.

Program and development skills include teamwork, communication skills, focus, leadership and patience. Youth will gain hands-on experience in vegetable growing and an opportunity to share in a life changing activity.

Farm in the Village will provide villagers from South Etobicoke with the opportunity to harvest vegetables for the needy while also offering valuable tips on how to grow your own vegetable gardens at home. Through the help and generosity of community leaders, PACT has established two community farms ideally situated in the heart of South Etobicoke.

This coming spring 2010, our community of South Etobicoke will rise up and lead the charge, in an unprecedented call-to-action in support of hunger in our city. Our goal is to produce over 40,000 pounds of fresh vegetables for our local food banks while empowering our youth to victory.
