About the farm
A Rocha Farm has been growing healthy food and caring for the ecology of our place in South Surrey since 2005. Our Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) program and farm stand connects a community of eaters in Metro Vancouver to local, seasonal food. The farm grows a diversity of vegetable crops and flowers on 3 acres of land at the A Rocha Environmental Centre.
The centre, including the farm, serves as a "living classroom" for many school children, visitors, and farm interns. A Rocha's conservation program is active in scientific monitoring and habitat restoration with a focus on the Little Campbell Watershed. The property boasts the largest collection of historic buildings in the City of Surrey with a guesthouse that serves as a hospitality centre for the A Rocha community as well as overnight guests and retreats.
A Rocha is a Christian faith-based organization with programs in Northern BC, Manitoba and Ontario and is part of a global family of A Rocha projects in 21 different countries, all working for the restoration of people and places.
