On Saturday August 24th, 2013 we gathered down at Southlands Farm for an evening tour and potluck – part of our tour series in collaboration with Young Agrarians. Southlands Farm is the only farm in Vancouver that is part of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) — a gathering place for folks of all ages to learn about food and farming. Here are a few photos courtesy of Sara Dent!
