Blue & Silver Farm

Blue & Silver Farm, in Whitchurch-Stouffville, is an agricultural and outdoor education facility for Pickering College. It is approximately 75 acres in total.

The farm provides a space for the Pickering College community to gather together, learn from the land, and give back to the community. With forest trails, camping platforms, various gardens, and a newly-renovated farmhouse, it is home to many academic, agricultural, and experiential learning opportunities. 

The vision of Blue & Silver Farm is to inspire every member of our community in a shared journey to nurture and regenerate the land using sustainable and technology-based solutions.
