Welcome!

This season, Waterloo Region School Food Gardens is coordinating a series of virtual farm tours for educators & students in Waterloo Region and beyond. Our top priority is highlighting local food producers, and especially those that are small-scale and that utilize sustainable practices. 

Each tour will run about 30-45 minutes, consisting of a pre-recorded tour followed by a live Q&A with the farmer(s)!

To learn more about each of our stops, please click on a farm on the map below, or continue scrolling for a list view. Registration can be found at the bottom of the page – we hope to see you in June!

Our first stop is Green Hart Farms, a 3-acre farm located in New Hamburg dedicated to bringing people closer to their food, and to making eating healthy, locally grown produce easy. [More about Green Hart Farms here]
