BeetBox Co-op Farm

In 2017 the Beetbox Cooperative was founded by a group of young farmers who saw the value of coming together to grow good food. As a workers' co-op, its members own and democratically manage the farm. That means the farm is committed to creating good jobs for new farmers.

When the founders of Beetbox came across the former Riverglen farm in the National Capital Greenbelt, they knew this was a special place. 230 Davidson's side road has been an ecological haven for both biodiversity and community for decades. It is surrounded by protected forests and wetlands and has a history of farmers growing with sustainable methods.

By renting a farm in the greenbelt from the National Capital Commission, our farm has the unique opportunity to be neighbours with those who eat our food. We benefit from our quick access to a main thoroughfare, Carling Road, and a network of biking, walking & skiing trails surrounding the farm. The conversation wetlands & forest that surround the farm make it a great place to visit for people and wildlife!

Following two years of a successful CSA, the VegBox, Beetbox expanded in 2020 to offer a seedling sale, a line of prepared foods, a farm store and events throughout the year. We welcome visits to the farm right down the road from Bells Corners, Kanata North & Crystal Beach/Brittania.
