MY FED FARM
empowering our community to grow food
My FED Farm is returning this year! Sign up for our newsletter for updates!
MY FED FARM
The My FED Farm project was designed to increase food security for underserved populations by providing garden kits containing everything needed to grow food.
​
It started as a pandemic response program in 2020 when the impacts of COVID-19 on our society highlighted the systemic issues of food insecurity that so many people in our community face. With skyrocketing living costs, we chose to continue to empower individual households and community organizations to grow food and foster community connections.
2023 program
In 2023, we worked with seven community organizations and three Indigenous communities to create and expand community gardens and supply seeds and plant starts! We added over 50 garden plots across Greater Victoria, empowering families facing food insecurity to grow their own fresh produce.

Since 2020, we have added nearly 24,000 pounds of potential food grown in our community, directly benefiting 2,984 people facing barriers to accessing healthy, fresh food and engaging 138 volunteers. We have achieved so much, but with rates of food insecurity rising, we need your help!

Thank you to Our supporters
Created in a time of uncertainty and turmoil, the My FED Farm program would not have been possible without the generous support of our volunteers and partners.
