Farms for Change is an annual event to raise funds to provide local, organic produce to low-income communities and good food organizations throughout Southern Ontario.

This event is run by an army of volunteers, including our amazing community of chefs, friends and neighbours. All proceeds from the event go to growing regenerative organic produce on the farm for free distribution to local Good Food Organizations.

Farms for Change is run in close partnership with Community Food Centres Canada.
