SOLE Food Street Farms is a business with a social mission. The project transforms vacant land in the city of Vancouver into street farms and empowers people with limited resources by providing them with agricultural training and jobs. SOLE Food grows beautiful produce that is sold at farmer’s markets, to local restaurants and through their CSA program.
They are currently cultivating 4 acres of land, at 4 different locations in downtown Vancouver and employ 15 staff and 4 seasonal volunteers. The initiative not only provides food for the community but also an important connection to the natural world, something that is often lacking for many of the individuals who work on the farm.
