We are beyond excited to announce that Black Creek Community Farm and our Executive Director, Ohemaa Boateng, were recently featured in the Toronto Star, by Food Report Karon Liu, highlighting our farm as an urban oasis in Toronto’s northwest. The article shines a spotlight on our commitment to food justice, sustainable farming, and the next steps in expanding our impact in the community.

This recognition is perfectly timed as we celebrate Urban Agriculture Week, highlighting the importance of urban farming initiatives across the city. The article explores our plans for growth, our dedication to empowering the community, and how BCCF plays a pivotal role in addressing food insecurity and creating access to fresh, locally-grown, culturally specific produce for the Jane-Finch community.

Tomorrow, we are hosting our sold-out Dinner at the Farm event, bringing people together for a magical night of locally-sourced ingredients from the farm cuisine, live entertainment, and a deep appreciation for the land. The event is a testament to the power of urban agriculture in building strong, resilient communities.

Looking ahead, join us for our Halloween-themed Open Mic/Movie Night and stay engaged with future opportunities to support food sovereignty and justice.
