People who stay with us are very interested in living and volunteering at an active urban farm. They want to learn farming and gardening knowledge to someday begin their own gardens or farms. It is through donations and the involvement of dedicated on-site and off-site volunteers that Chris and his partners have united efforts to offer a beautiful urban garden experience. Basic internet service is available for no cost, mostly for emails and short video streaming.

The space
Our historical site, located on First Nations Abenaki territory, used to belong to the Department of Agriculture prior to being the home of a refugee family, making it the ideal location for us to start our mission of hospitality 7 years ago. It is through donations and the involvement of dedicated on-site and off-site volunteers with Foundations for Farming hat Chris and his partners have united efforts to offer training and development both as farmers and personally.

Guest access
Our beautiful urban location near highway 410 and Bishop's University, directly on St. François river, makes it an exceptional starting point for cyclists who want to enjoy the Route Verte path; fish, canoe, kayak or tube the river or simply explore all Sherbrooke has to offer. Our bird life is amazing and is a recognized birding location by provincial authorities, especially for swallows and chimney swifts. A fire pit by the river will be made available, in respect of all fire bans, with firewood available for purchase.

Bilingual service.

Other things to note
Seasonal, fresh farm produce will be available for purchase as well as guided garden tours for a donation. Prior arrangements should be made with Chris. We always welcome contributions to our non-profit charity, including non-perishable food items.
