City Farm School began as an initiative of The Concordia Greenhouse in 2009. City Farm School offers a one of a kind urban farming internship program, that focuses on SPIN (Small Plot Intensive) farming from seed to market and everything in between including beekeeping. City Farm School provided a variety of programming and internships producing food that is sold on and off campus (Source: Chevrier, Erik 2022). Since 2022, the plots once run by City Farm School are now run by Co-op CultivAction.
