About us
Black Creek Community Farm is situated on a truly unique eight-acre property that includes pristine farmland, a heritage farmhouse and barn, and a surrounding forest that extends down into the Black Creek ravine. All of this is located within easy walking distance of eight schools and thousands of local residents in one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in Canada’s largest city. The site houses certified organic vegetable fields, a forest trail and food forest, 4-season greenhouses, an outdoor classroom, pavilion and bake oven, as well as a mushroom garden, chickens and beehives. Restoration and conservation activities is in progress to enhance the roughly 15,000 square metre u-shaped woodland which surrounds the farm fields on the west side along a busy Toronto artery (Jane St), along the south end bordering a vibrant community housing development, and up the east side at the top of a ravine descending to the Black Creek and separating BCCF from the Black Creek Pioneer Village and York University.

🌱 Urban farming is transforming cities—one community at a time. 🌍 At Black Creek Community Farm, we’re proud to partner with the University of Toronto's TOsustain project to explore how urban agriculture can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve food access, and cool neighborhoods like Jane-Finch during extreme summer heat. Did you know the urban heat island effect disproportionately impacts vulnerable communities? Through sustainable farming, BCCF is creating greenspaces that combat heat, improve air quality, and provide fresh, culturally relevant food for our neighbors. Join us in growing a more resilient, equitable, and sustainable city. 🌿 💚 Learn more about our work and how you can support: https://lnkd.in/gbrzu28r #UrbanAgriculture #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FoodSecurity #JaneFinch #CommunityImpact
