Our Vision

Vacant spaces in the city should be used to grow food.

 

Bowery Project is a not-for-profit organization with a mission to create opportunities for urban agriculture through the temporary use of vacant lots.

Bowery Project designs, builds and manages mobile urban farms in downtown Toronto. We grow food for local chefs/restaurants and charities while engaging the community through fun, creative and educational programming.

All produce is grown in containers that sit above the ground. Our urban farms can be disassembled and relocated within hours.  This mobility allows for an easy change of location when the land must be claimed for it’s subsequent use – such as development, remediation or sale.
