Deer Crossing the Art Farm

Deer Crossing the Art Farm

The Art Farm is a non-profit organization based out of the Sunshine Coast, BC, on the traditional territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and shíshálh Nations. The Farm organizes a variety of community-engaged art projects, installations, and events which aim to respect the environment, share the voices of the underrepresented, and strengthen their community through creative collaboration.

The Smart Farm Project explores whether increased density on such lots using low footprint cluster designs could catalyze small farms and provide affordable housing for the younger generation of farmers we so desperately need.

“We have only begun to explore the potential for Smart Farms to play a pivotal role in attracting young farmers and catalyzing new farms across BC and Canada. Smart Farms have the potential to increase food security and make small-scale farming more economically viable.”
