Directions to the Community Harvest Farm:
Location: Black Family Farm Growing Project, near Stittsville, ON. 
Address:  Our area is located off Mansfield Rd
There is no civic address at this spot, so please copy and paste the following Google Map link into your web browser:
https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.21006,-75.8958913,953m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!6m1!1szeA6M0PbI5lM.kQS2IcQKJJiQ?hl=en
Upload the map & right click on the blue placemark and choose “Directions to Here”.
The access gate is 1.2 km west of the intersection of Huntley road and Mansfield road - please zero your trip odometer in your car when you reach this intersection.
The gate is identifiable by the two handwritten signs on it. One sign asks visitors to close the gate after entering the farm due to roaming cattle and the other reads “6600 Mansfield rd.” (which is not a true address, there is no official address at this gate). 
Parking:  Parking is on the shoulder of Mansfield Road and volunteers walk the lane into the field.  No vehicles are permitted past the fence.
What to Bring:

• Sunhat
• Wear a white shirt if possible to repel bugs
