Join us for this FREE event!!

Our farm will be open for teachers and their families to visit with the animals, enjoy a wagon ride around the farm and take a stroll through the corn maze.  Ask questions about our different programs, suitable for all grade levels.  Don’t forget to take in the great views, have a snack, and take lots of photos.

Thank-you, Teachers.

Want to enjoy the bounty of a productive urban farm day without worrying about planning and planting months in advance? Come join us for the best part of the season... eating delicious, fresh, local produce! Tour the farm and explore what’s currently growing while learning about our organic, low-till practices. Students will find themselves helping out with each step of the process: harvesting, washing, and preparing a salad for everyone to enjoy. We’ll also make a delicious dressing by hand (with honey from our bees!) to complement the meal we share together at the tour’s conclusion.

The Vancouver Writers Fest is one of the largest, and most prestigious literary festivals in North America. The 2020 Festival takes place ONLINE from October 19-25, 2020. In addition to the programming we offer adults, we also hold events specifically for K-12 students.

Through our youth educational outreach programs, we offer students the opportunity to interact with celebrated writers from across the globe in designed specifically for young people, teachers, schools and student groups. Each year, we reach more than 7,000 students across British Columbia—in the classroom or at the Festival.

This year our youth education outreach programming will include:

10+ weekday Festival virtual events featuring presentations and discussions with engaging authors from Canada and around the world, programmed with BC curriculum goals in mind. Some of the authors particpating in the Festival this year are Kenneth Oppel, Oliver Jeffers, Steven Heighton, Jess Keating, Christy Jordan-Fenton, David A. Robertson, and many more!

All our events are pay what you can this year.

Writers in the Classroom: 10+ events where writers meet students for reading, writing and/or drawing workshops on Microsoft Teams or Zoom. 

Learn to shoot like Robin Hood!

Immerse your students in an archery adventure, with a lesson in your choice between the
modern take-down recurve bow, the english longbow, or the asiatic composite bow!

Archery is a fantastic special program to offer as part of your educational classes as a single
session or an ongoing series. We combine modern archery instruction with historical bows
from Europe and Asia in a way that will excite your students to learn about different cultures
and physical skills related to patience, persistence, and strength.

*This lesson can only be offered at our downtown studio.
