Green Living Acres Inc.
Farm Project Description
We are a regenerative agriculture enterprise with a primary focus on floriculture and poultry. We aspire to find a long-term land lease where we can utilize pastured poultry practices and build a semi-permanent structure to act as our on-site abbatoir for those chickens. We aim to supply local restaurants that have a particular focus on locally sourced ingredients. 1/2 acre will be dedicated to our no-dig, no-till cut-flower farm with goals to build into 1 full acre to include perennials. Short term goals also involve the inclusion of an apiary.
