Farm description

I have been farming at Claireville conservation Area (McVean Farm) for the past 7 years. My farm is certified organic and I grow a variety of garden vegetables. https://www.facebook.com/myorganicfarm/ http://www.foodforestorganics.com/

Farm opportunity

In 2019 I submitted a proposal in response to a request for proposal (RFP) by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). My proposal was recently accepted and I am now looking for candidates interested in participating in an incubator farm program with the intention of starting their own farming business. I also started farming at a incubator farm and my program draws from the positive aspects of that program while adding some very out of box and innovative strategies based on my personal experience which I believe will significantly improve the success of incubator farm. Unlike the program I was part of this program is being run by an onsite farmer (me) who is currently farming!
