This project of the Working Centre is a unique community-based urban agriculture project located in Kitchener. It is a fully functioning market garden that offers an inclusive, hands-on learning environment to demonstrate, promote, and share knowledge about sustainable food production. Beyond U students will be involved in both in day-to-day operation and shaping its overall direction. Students will:

• Actively engage in the work of building a more sustainable community based food system, while also helping to build community while working with volunteers.
• Work alongside staff and volunteer gardeners to facilitate work tasks and crews to grow vegetables, flowers, and fruits, using a bio-intensive growing model on about 1.5 acres of land. 
• Have opportunities to learn about practical models for growing, greenhouse management, soil fertility, crop rotations, pests and beneficial insects, plant pathogens, irrigation and water conservation, planting and nurturing crops using organic methods, as well as harvesting, preparing, and marketing vegetables, fruits, and flowers through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share program. 
• Have opportunities to develop transferable leadership, entrepreneurial, educational, and organizational skills associated with active participation in a lively and diverse community-enterprise. The learning will be both “on the job” as well as self-directed and self-initiated.
