Post Carbon London (Ontario)

In spring of 2006, a group of concerned Londoners led by farmer Rose White and Dr. Kathy McCully, began a city farm that grew healthy organic produce for a buying collective of local families and businesses. This project was at once an action localizing food and at the same time making a bold statement against urban sprawl. The farming team is comprised of experienced and new gardeners working together. During the growing season, we assemble weekly food boxes, filled with freshly-picked produce, for our members. The produce we grow is comprised of heritage species, unique vegetables, and endangered varieties. Our crops are chosen based upon excellence in nutrition and taste. We make healthy, local organic produce readily available at affordable prices. The City Farming Project's main garden is located at Wharncliffe and Southdale on land that is being challenged by local developers. The site is being threatened to make room for the proposed Bradley Street Extension, the long-talked-about "ring road" that has been debated in London. The plans for such a development would cut right through our farm, harming animal populations, protective woodlots, and reducing the air quality.If you are interested in learning more about or joining the project, please join us on
