Farm Project Description

In search of 1-2 acre's. My intention, to develop a Market Garden design. Focus would be on growing farm fresh produce without pesticides. Goal's are to strive for natural, effective and sustainable farming practices. Fast forward and the plan will evolve into a Permaculture system. This does not have to happen on the intended parcel as the Market Garden will be the focus. Currently living in Alberta and relocation will need to take place. Accommodations would be a huge added bonus but will find housing if needed.
