('77, BC) 6 Members

A sister community to Community Alternatives, Fraser Common Farm was established as a registered co-operative in 1977. It is a 10-acre organic farm located an hour's drive SE of Vancouver, and is home to a collectively-owned salad & garnish business: The Glorious Garnish and Seasonal Salad Company. Several resident members are activists in the organic farming movement, and serve as part-time staff for the nonprofit Farm Folk/City Folk organization. The farm's primary goals are: 1) to provide recreational and educational opportunities for the urban and resident members; 2) to do research and experimentation in small-scale farming and appropriate technology; 3) to produce quality in-season food; and 4) to work towards economic viability. They farm using the permaculture model, and now have a flock of laying hens, bee hives, nut trees, fruit trees, raspberries, several greenhouses, and a 3-acre market garden where they grow a variety of plants, primarily edible flowers and other salad garnishes.
