Placed-based learning on an urban farm
We design programs for UBC students and faculty, and for the wider community of children and youth, farmers, Indigenous partners, and anyone with an interest in learning about sustainable food systems. Our 24-hectare organic farm surrounded by forest offers a rich learning environment with programs delivered in our yurt, harvest hut, kitchen, events field, children’s greenhouse, and our integrated agricultural-forest landscape.
Our goal is to develop the next generation of food system leaders and be an inclusive space for sustainable food systems teaching and learning, for UBC students and beyond.
Food systems learning on a working urban farm
We design programs for UBC students and faculty, as well as the wider community of children and youth, farmers, Indigenous partners, and anyone interested in sustainable food systems. Our 24-hectare site offers a rich learning environment across the farm’s integrated agricultural–forest landscape.
Grounded in the day-to-day practices of a working farm, our programs connect food production, agroecology, forest stewardship, and community engagement. Our goal is to develop the next generation of food system leaders and to be an inclusive space for sustainable food systems teaching and learning for UBC students and the broader community.
The UBC Farm offers a variety of workshops on topics such as gardening, fermentation, foraging, and other sustainable food skills.
