Pending anticipated approval from city councillors, the City of Richmond has re-signed its $10 per year lease with the Richmond Sharing Farm Society for another five years.
The society will now be set to farm about three acres of land in Terra Nova Rural Park. Its goal is to promote sustainable, community based agriculture.
The society manages the land for various community groups to use. Each year it sees about 1,000 volunteers pass through, according to a report from city's parks department. Much of the fresh produce grown by the society goes to the Richmond Food Bank.
