Key Projects

Vicky’s Keys Volunteer Centre

Volunteer Centre & Eco Hostel “Vicky’s Keys” has several gardens cultivated with herbs, vegetables, fruit and fish (Aquaponics system). Led and managed by dedicated volunteers, Vicky’s Keys grows organic food efficiently for its community of volunteers and to distribute to the local neighbourhood at low cost. Surplus produce from Vicky’s Keys is sold at The Keys Market. Vicky’s Keys includes a small classroom area where we demonstrate our Aquaponics system and offer medicinal and plant-based cooking classes. We welcome local volunteers to work the gardens at Vicky’s Keys every Wednesday and Saturday between 9am and 11am. Contact us to make an appointment.

The Keys Market

An Aquaponics Garden is destined to be developed at the King of The Sea drive location. The goal for this Aquaponic Garden is to supply The Keys Market and direct neighbourhood of fresh produce, sweet water fish and crustaceans. It will also provide Aquaponic workshops to those interested in growing their own food.
