Loutet Farm is a 3/4 acre market garden operated by the Edible Garden Project, a program of North Shore Neighbourhood House. The Farm took its fledgling steps in 2011 as the first urban farm on public parkland in the region, and the first opportunity for those on the North Shore to participate in creating a local sustainable agricultural system. It is a community hub that brings together hundreds of neighbours to get their hands dirty, buy produce, and celebrate food.

Loutet Farm provides an outdoor classroom featuring hands-on farming experiences to build childrens’ awareness of the impact our food can have on our health and the environment. It is a place for students to discover where nourishment can be found, and connect to many different creatures along the way.

Come learn about urban agriculture at Loutet farm!

*Registration is limited and available on a first come, first serve basis. All confirmed registrants will receive an email confirmation prior to the event.

Explorer Day Etiquette:

Be prepared to HAVE FUN

Pre-registration with your Club Leader is required for most Explorer Days (Friends are welcome if space permits).

Please arrive 5-10 minutes before the scheduled start time to ensure enough time for passport stamping and organization. Starting times are firm, and Leaders cannot wait for late-comers!

Please stay with the Leader and let them know if you are leaving early.

Children must always be accompanied by an adult guardian, who is responsible for their behaviour. Children consistently disrupting the experience of others may be asked to leave.

Bring appropriate weather gear, sunscreen, snacks, water, and other useful tools like binoculars, sketch books, cameras, and magnifying glasses.
