The Sharing Farm

Meet Nikolai, our Farm Manager! 👨‍🌾

Nikolai brings a diverse background to the Sharing Farm with experience in cooking, carpentry, and a degree in History. He is also a graduate of the UBC Sustainable Farming Practicum and co-conspirator of Good Times Growers, a small scale mixed veggie farm in Burnaby. 🥕

Now entering his fourth season with The Sharing Farm, Nikolai is passionate about working with others to grow high-quality produce while prioritizing farming practices that are sustainable for both the climate and farm workers.

Meet Leslie, our Executive Director at the Sharing Farm! 🌱

Leslie brings a wealth of experience spanning education, activism, and the non-profit sector. Growing up in the Deep South led her to write an award-winning novel exploring the history and aftermath of lynching. For decades she has been growing food, keeping bees, and advocating for pollinator conservation. Her passion is reflected in her work as former Apiary Manager at Hives for Humanity and as a founding board member of the BC Native Bee Society.

Leslie is deeply committed to food security, habitat protection, and building healthier communities for both people and the natural world.

A big thank you to this small but mighty crew from for joining us on the farm last week!

Volunteer groups like yours help make our work possible. We're so grateful for the time, energy, and enthusiasm you brought to the farm! Together, we harvested and processed bok choy that will soon make its way to members of the community. 🥬
