Garden City Farms has multiple market garden project sites that grow vegetables, fruit, grains, flowers and other riparian and perennial plants with the majority of produce grown going to the Red Deer Food Bank, soup kitchens, and those in need. We sell the remainder through special events, local markets, and local restaurants. We also sell worm castings, open-pollinated heirloom seeds, and educational workshops, internships, and apprenticeships for youth interested in careers in urban agriculture and renewable energy.
