The Clubhouse Farm began in 2012 to offer children access to wide open outdoor spaces and freshly harvested produce. Soon after, we received the British Columbia Child Care Award of Excellence in Innovation. Spending time outdoors playing, getting active, and relaxing in nature have been scientifically shown to benefit children in many ways. From stress reduction and improving concentration, to developing imagination, social skills, risk assessment and problem solving skills, spending time outside benefits every child’s health and wellbeing.

Our Farm is located on Agricultural Land Reserve, and we maintain our farm status through the production and sales of herbs, fruit, veggies, and eggs. School groups can book a visit to participate in seasonal activities. Programs include gardening, plant identification, harvesting wild foods, baking, chicken care, and composting.

Understanding where our food comes from and how we can be a part of making healthy foods is vital – a healthy body and a healthy environment come hand in hand. Supported by our interdisciplinary and hardworking team, we have documented successes in both the field of education and child care. From therapeutic benefits for children, to offering an interactive learning platform, to growing local food while supporting biodiversity and habitat restoration, this model supports many elements for sustainable community development.
