Calgary is opening more doors for urban farming to succeed, the city’s support for urban agriculture is on the rise and it’s one of the many ways the metropolis is encouraging innovation through the economic recovery. In recent years, communities across Calgary have expressed growing interest in local food production, consumption, and locally grown produce.

MicroHabitat is an ideal type of farming for the future generations of our society. Our mission to bring healthy food to the world while protecting the environment would never be possible without our amazing team of experts in urban farming. They grow veggies with care and make sure the production zone is pesticide-less for a taste of freshness straight out of the urban farm.
