The Yarrow Ecovillage Community Farms is a 20 acre certified organic community farm located at the Yarrow Ecovillage in the Chilliwack area. There are 7 sets of farmers, including the following market vegetable farms; the Ohm Organic Farm, Osprey Organic Farm and the Soban Farm.
Each farm is independent, with the exception of sharing infrastructure and equipment such as tractors. They also jointly provide a CSA veggie box available for the Abbotsford and Chiliwak communities.
Like their fellow community members of the Ecovillage, the farmers care deeply about balancing earning a living with caring for the land, natural resources, and the wide diversity of life in the area. The community maintains the Stewart Creek Care project to maintain the health of Stewart Creek, which runs through the farmland. It is home to salmon, a wide array of birds, amphibians, and makes a permaculture home for the wildlife of the surrounding area.
