Overview

Hello, My name is Bakar Mansaray, myself and wife are aspiring agricultural entrepreneurs looking for a small piece of land to lease for vegetable and crop production within a one hour's drive from Ottawa, Ontario. Myself and wife are seeking approximately 0.5 to 2 acres of land and are interested in establishing a well-maintained, productive farming operation. We take pride in responsible land stewardship and would ensure that the property remains clean, secure, and properly cared for throughout the lease period. We are open to discussing different arrangements, including a reasonable lease payment, sharing a portion of the harvest, or providing land maintenance services as part of the agreement. Our goal is to build a long-term relationship based on trust, respect, and mutual benefit. If you have land that may be suitable or would be willing to discuss the possibility, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Bakar Mansaray Phone: (613) 869-9933 Email: mansabgoatfarm@gmail.com

Experience

I am a Canadian citizen and I have a Canadian academic background in business administration combined with practical agricultural experience gained through crop cultivation and livestock production in Sierra Leone. My experience includes farm planning, budgeting, record keeping, crop management, goat and sheep husbandry, marketing agricultural products, and managing day-to-day farm operations. I am seeking to apply these transferable skills to develop a sustainable and profitable farm enterprise in Ontario while adapting to Canadian agricultural practices and regulations.

Partner(s)

I am planning to farm with my wife who also has a background in business management as pertains to maintaining a piggery and a poultry. She is a Canadian permanent resident, originally from Uganda. Both of us are raising our two sons who are 5 and 6 years old.
