Farm Tour & Social

In partnership with AFN, we're opening the doors to a Growcer vertical farm.

During the tour, all PPE will be provided (no dirt or soil in our farms!) with complimentary beverages and snacks after.

When: Tuesday, July 14, starting 5:00pm

Where: 7 Bayview Station Road, Ottawa, ON (15 minutes from Rogers Centre)

Getting there: Get to the farm - on us. Uber vouchers provided.

Spots are limited. Reserve the time that works best for you.

Communities Leading the Way

‘Namgis Business Development Corp.

With support from Growcer’s funding services, ‘Namgis First Nation secured $350,000 to launch the ‘Namgis Hydroponic Greenhouse Project. From early planning through to first harvest, Growcer worked alongside the community — providing grant writing assistance, technical support, and hands-on training.

Today, ‘Namgis grows fresh, local food year-round and hosts its own training programs to build skills within the community.

“It has social dividends that you can’t even begin to calculate. What it means for somebody who’s learning a new skill, to have a job, to have this food in the community, to see the faces. Those are the kinds of things that really give life to this project.”

— Gaby Wickstrom, Interim CEO, ‘Namgis Business Development Corp

Montana First Nation

Montana First Nation partnered with Growcer to build Akamihk Fresh, a 15,000-square-foot hydroponic greenhouse owned and operated by the Nation.

With $500,000 secured through Alberta's Aboriginal Business Investment Fund, the community now produces and sells their nation-owned brand of greens to retailers across central Alberta and their local school district. The farm has created jobs on the Nation and all revenue flows back to the community.

"They see a product that their nation has produced… being sold in the open market. It's a feeling that hasn't been experienced on the nation. So it's wonderful."

— Jesse Currie, operations manager for Montana First Nation

Mattagami First Nation (June 2026)

Mattagami First Nation is building one of the most comprehensive food infrastructure projects in the Growcer network. The Miikogi project, named from the Anishnaabemowin word meaning "it grows well," goes beyond a single farm: the community is commissioning a full Growcer farm, hub unit, cold storage, and dry storage to create a complete local food supply chain on the Nation's land. For a small community with limited grocery access, this project is designed to provide long-term food sovereignty, local employment, and hands-on training for community members interested in food production.

Fisher River Cree Nation (Upcoming)

Fisher River Cree Nation partnered with ADRA Canada and Growcer to launch a year-round hydroponic farm tackling food insecurity in northern Manitoba. The farm is projected to produce 10,000 pounds of leafy greens and herbs annually, supplying the community-owned store and local restaurants, with elders and vulnerable households served first. Over a five-year plan, the project will support education, employment, and community workshops, with surplus revenue reinvested into food and energy sovereignty initiatives for the Nation's 1,500 on-reserve members.

"The cost of buying food today is quite high, not only in our community, but all across the country. I think if we can help our families offset their living costs, I think it's a major plus for them, and also it'll provide some employment for our members. It'll also support our young people that might be interested in getting into agricultural programs, but I think this is the way to go for the future, being able to grow different types of vegetables that can help us offset our costs in the community."

— Chief David Crate, Fisher River Cree Nation
