Green City Acres is a pedal powered urban farming/edible landscaping company dedicated to sustainable food production. We utilize back yards and urban spaces to grow organic produce for local distribution. All of our farming operations including farm maintenance, transportation of crops, restaurant deliveries, weekly farmers markets, and moving of our 300 lb. rototiller, are all done with our bikes and trailers. Our mission is to foster social and environmental change through the production of local organic food, with minimal use of fossil fuels, and to help, teach, and empower people to start growing their own.

At Green City Acres we use a method of farming called SPIN (Small Plot INtensive) to grow a variety of different crops to be sold to restaurants, farmers markets, and eventually directly to consumers through a CSA (community supported agriculture) box program. We also want to help you build a garden and start growing your own food. We have the equipment and expertise to tear up your lawn and reclaim it for food.

Weekly farmers market, and restaurant sales.

We are at the Kelowna farmers market every Saturday and  Wednesday. Right now we’re producing a lot of salad greens like red and green leaf lettuce, spinach, rouge d’hiver, red deer tongue, kale, swiss chard, mizuna, arugula, mustard greens, as well as lots of scallion and radish. For the summer and fall season, we’ll have a full pallet of different vegetables, such as multiple squash varieties, cucumbers, beans, peas, edamame, tomatoes, tomatillos, potatoes, beets, carrots, red/spanish onions.

We’re still looking to supply a few more restaurants for the 2010 season. Along with your weekly produce orders, we offer a free compost pick-up/drop-off service. All your kitchen vegetable scraps will be composted on our farm sites to be eventually used as soil amendments for future crops. More about the composting program here.
