Black Creek Community Farm is an 8-acre farm in the heart of the Jane and Finch neighbourhood in Toronto. We are a not-for-profit organization and leader in Toronto’s dynamic urban agriculture and community food sector. At Black Creek Community Farm, we serve and enrich our community through a thriving farm, healthy food, and hands-on training and learning experiences.

Our focus is to inspire the next generation by providing leadership in food justice and supporting diverse natural and social ecosystems. We believe everyone has a right to food. We are equity-oriented and believe in directing adequate resources to people who are experiencing systemic oppression and social inequity as it relates to food security.

We believe in prioritizing lived experiences in addressing food insecurity.
