Farmers on 57th is an urban farm that offers both a vegetable and flower CSA. It is located on land currently belonging to BC Coastal Health, and has a unique relationship with the long-term care facility next to it: the farm is kept wheelchair-accessible for disabled residents of the George Pearson Center to tour, and the farmers also provide a veggie box for the Center’s monthly community meal.
