Overview
My name is Denzel Gordon. I've been in love with nature since a kid. I really enjoy working hard and getting things done the right way in a timely manner. Recently I have been indulging in new studies about soil health and soil conservation practices. I'm 22 years old so there's a lot for me to learn, I wanna make a living farming and hopefully one day have a legacy to leave behind.
Experience
Ive been taking part in this farming leadership program in Toronto. I have used a lot of very common market garden equipment over the last 2 years. I have completed a free course on Redox Potential (Eh) and pH as indicators of Soil, Plant and Animal Health and Quality. Lastly I've worked in a few restaurant's as a prep cook and line cook.
Partner(s)
Im looking for a paid internship. I will be applying by myself.
Farm Vision
My ideal vision is a farm with healthy soil and lots of useful farm animals. Hopefully the farm will have a lot of orchids , grapes, goji berries and as many fruits as possible!
Relationship with Farm Owner
Im looking for a relationship were I can learn from a farmer to help me one day start my own farm. A big component is to work with someone who is respectful of the things around them and the land.
