What happens here

Every gathering starts in the soil

No two events at Zawadi Farm are the same — but all of them are grounded in the same place. A working farm in the middle of the city, where food is actually grown.

Seasonal

Farm Dinners

Long-table dinners in The Barn or out in the field. Ingredients harvested that morning. Cooked by people who know this land. An evening that connects food back to where it came from.

Hands-on

Harvest Days

Come to the farm and work alongside our growers during peak harvest. Pick, wash, pack, and understand what it takes to feed a city. Open to families, individuals, and groups.

Educational

Planting Workshops

Hands-on workshops in soil science, seed selection, no-till methods, and regenerative growing. For beginners and experienced growers alike. Led by the farmers who work this land every day.

Community

Community Gatherings

Cultural celebrations, community markets, food sovereignty events, and seasonal milestones — bringing together the people who grow, eat, and care about where their food comes from.

Host your own event

Book the farm for your event

The Barn at Zawadi Farm is Toronto's only event venue on an active working farm. Weddings, corporate team days, CSR experiences, community dinners, and private gatherings — all hosted on 13 acres of regenerative farmland at Downsview Park.

Venue

The Barn

1,900 sq ft indoor event space on the farm. Flexible layout for up to 150 guests. Full farm context — you’re booking a working agricultural site, not a barn aesthetic.

Corporate

CSR & Team Days

Bring your team to the farm for a meaningful day. Volunteer alongside farmers, learn about food systems, and leave with something that matters more than a trust fall. Available for groups of 10–60.
