Creation care & community care through food

Every bite we eat connects us to the environment where our food is grown and the farmers that grow it.Β 

A Rocha began its foray into farming over ten years ago through our Community Shared Agriculture (CSA) in Surrey, BC. What began as a 10-member CSA now serves over 175 households with weekly produce June to October and even more through farmer’s markets!

We also run a Farm to Families program to share fresh food with others. We’ve supported schoolyard gardens, vegetable deliveries for home-bound seniors, and weekly produce to newcomer families. From hosting day camps for kids to traveling cooking demonstrations, we offer farm education to our local communities.

Learn more and join us as we share with our neighbors in the metro-Vancouver area.
