Overview
We are two young farmers looking to find land to grow our life long dream of providing our community with fresh, organically grown fruit, flowers, and vegetables. We currently work as managers at Juniper farm, an organic vegetable farm in Wakefield, Quebec. On rented land, we have started a humble farm project producing garlic and cut flowers. We hope to settle somewhere in Quebec or Ontario between Montreal and Ottawa, ideally within a half hour north of the Ottawa River. We are open to alternative arrangements to acquire land (i.e. rent to own, co-op, partnerships…etc).
