We aim to provide food security, improve urban biodiversity and environmental education through community engagement.
Thorncliffe Park Urban Farmers (TPUF) is a community-based, small-scale farming group located in the Thorncliffe Park neighbourhood of Toronto. Local residents volunteer their time maintaining two communal vegetable gardens located on residential apartment properties as well as fruit trees throughout the neighbourhood and share the harvest at no cost to them. To support ecological biodiversity in the area, we have begun to develop pollinator habitats by clearing invasive plants and introducing over 100 native plant species creating beautiful wildflower gardens in the process. We also help to support the next generation of the neighbourhood through education, arts, and trades programs.
Thorncliffe Park Urban Farmers is a member of FoodShare Toronto’s Supportive Partnership’s Platform.
