Meet the Farmers

I have been involving with gardenning and farming with MFRC for last 8 years. I joined with Ken at MFRC Neilson garden to help him then moved to the Morningside Heights farm when I got the opportunity. I will grow tomatoes, chilis, beans, karela, squash, eggplants for us and sale.

Well I’m Branden I’ve been a farmer in the past but let it go due to life matters that came up but I’m back as ready as I’ll ever be. I’m a coordinator of a community garden and plan on launching a tea business this year. I’m planning on growing a wide range of plants from survival foods to herbs and flowers as well as berry bushes.

I am Funmi, a passionate home cook and immigrant farmer who enjoys growing fresh food for my family and community. I started Funmi Farms to grow fresh, healthy vegetables that are commonly used in everyday cooking. I will be growing crops like tomatoes, peppers, spinach, okra, Corn and herbs because they are nutritious and widely used in African and international dishes. I enjoy farming because it helps me provide fresh food and connect with nature.

Afro-Ojibwe teaching farm. (Where how you grow matters) We specialise in growing crops that are unique to North and South America such as squashes, ancient watermelons, corn, collard greens, okra, strawberries, blueberries, squashes. We grow these to help keep them in our diets and in society. Our farm also teaches others how to garden while caring for the earth.

This is the 5th year that I have been farming with my family. I enjoy the experience from start to finish. I get to meet new people, and help them eat healthier. I enjoy being outdoors and watching items grow from seed to something people can eat and enjoy. I also get to make some extra money to purchase things that I like and need. I will be growing garlic, different kinds of callaloo, carrots, beets and potatoes just to name a few.

I'm Pramila. I'm a new comer. I look forward to growing with you all.

Raised on a farm, I have a deep appreciation for agriculture. I enjoy farming as it keeps me connected to my roots.

We are a family run team (mom, daughter, and other family supports). Rani grew up in Sri Lanka where she farmed a variety of crops in her backyard. After immigrating to Canada, she continued the tradition on a much smaller level at home. The MFRC Urban Farm gave her a new way to reconnect to her roots, continue traditions, and learn new skills with her fellow farmers.

I am a new farmer expecting to grow and learn some South Asian vegetables and herbs. Bitter melon, South Asian Gourds, Broccoli, Tometoes, Bell pepper, Green chillies, and more.

Hi, I'm Suba! This is my first time farming with MFRC, and I'm very excited to see how this progresses! I'm growing vegetables and herbs that are typically raised in my home country of Sri Lanka, where I once helped my family farm as a teenager. Now, I have teenagers of my own helping me farm, and they're both very enthusiastic about lending a hand!

I am a 3rd-generation farmer from Sri lanka. I farm with several family members, and we grow numerous types of asian vegetables.

At my farm, I grow a variety of fresh herbs and organic spinach using natural and sustainable methods. I focus on chemical-free farming to ensure clean, healthy greens for the community.

Our mission is to provide the community with high-quality, naturally grown vegetables and herbs that promote healthy living, freshness, and trust from farm to table.
