After many conversations (and commutes across the harbour 🚲), your friendly neighbourhood Farm Coordinators have decided to switch farm sites this season so we can each work closer to home.

Hillary will be heading to the BiHi farm, and Nicola will be moving over to the Woodside site in Dartmouth. 🌱

We’ll miss our beloved gardens and communities, but we’re also excited to grow with new people and places, and grateful to be part of a community that stretches across both farms.

You’ll still see us around both sites this season as we help each other settle in.

Plotters! Keep an eye out for newsletters this month about plot renewal and spring farm updates. 🧡
