Farm description
We are a 4th generation family farm 100+ acres. Currently providing a CSA program and online ordering. Previously onsite market stand, education programs and some farmers' markets. Vision, that this farm is maintained as farmland, potentially developed along permaculture design, a resource in our community, a center for learning and interaction with nature.
Farm opportunity
We have 1-6 acres of current hay crop potentially available for small scale production. Open to independent or collaborative work situation (with current market gardens). We are open to figuring out sharing opportunities for water, greenhouse, machinery, cold storage, buildings, housing. Interested in transitioning our CSA program responsibility to another person. Lots of farmers' markets in the area and wholesale opportunities in our area (Barrie).
