SOLEfood Inner City Urban Farm Coming to the Downtown Eastside.


An initiative of United We Can’s SOLE (Save Our Living Environment) Program, this fully functioning urban farm will provide inner-city residents with employment
and community kitchens, local residents, restaurants and caterers alike access to a valuable source of local and organic food. Once complete, the hope is to make the SOLEfood Urban Farm a social hub and information source in the DTES.


A large and dedicated group is working together to meet our goal of having the farm fully operational, by Spring 2010. This effort would not have been possible without the combined efforts of United We Can, Projects in Place and Building Opportunities with Business (BOB).
