Project
Farm Name
Gorilla Gardener + Vacant Lots Farm Club HQ
Farm Project Description
We are looking for 2 - 20 acres near Calgary, ideally less than 1 hour, to become the location of a farm practice focusing on regenerative agriculture and therapeutic horticulture. This will complement the work we are currently doing in the city through our businesses Gorilla Gardener and Vacant Lots Farm Club.
Access to land is the key to unlocking our ability to continue our urban agriculture efforts as well as develop a home base for resources, materials, and progressive practices in a rural setting. We are working with multiple community builders such as health care centers, school boards, governments, and individuals and hope to expand this awareness through research, ecotourism, and thriving rural business.
