Farm with Friends Inc. is a local urban farm.
Our Story
The story behind the company.
Our Story
It's always in season when you farm with friends.
Local
We're just around the corner (Chilliwack, BC to be specific), rather than having products shipped from across the continent
Sustainable
Using hydroponic farming techniques means we're using 90% less water, and producing almost 4 times as many crops.
Produce
Using heirloom, organic, non-gmo seeds, in coconut coir with added nutrients only. Not a pesticide in sight.
People
We are people before profits. Yes, money is nice. Helping our local community, and global community, is nicer.
We're more than just microgreens
How a group of people decided they wanted to make a positive impact in the world.
Microgreens is just the start, but it's nowhere near the end.
Starting with Microgreens
Some people think microgreens are overrated, or over-hyped but we believe the opposite. We want to market microgreens to everyone, not just upscale diners. It can be as simple as putting microgreens on your instant noodles (a staff fave).

Moving into Mushrooms
If we could live off mushrooms alone, we would. We love the versatility of mushrooms, and how it can be cooked like a steak and taste meaty and delicious without the environmental impact that a cattle farm has.

Branching into Urban Farm Prototypes
With a McDonald's-esque approach to efficient operations, we aim to build, rinse, and repeat our low-tech verticle farming model in areas of the continent that don't have access to fresh local produce. Imagine buying a head of lettuce for $17. That is the reality for some folks, and we aim to make fresh produce afforable, and accessible for everyone.
