Guelph Youth Farm project will be run by and for youth. The Farm will:
- be located near downtown Guelph, and modeled after several successful youth farm projects in cities around North America.
- operate as a social enterprise growing fresh food for the community;
- provide training and employment for youth;
- offer solutions to systemic community challenges in lower income and more vulnerable neighborhoods in Guelph, such as the Onward Willow neighbourhood west of the Farm; and,
- serve as an outdoor "farm park" space for public events and workshops.
