Long-term goal or vision for land
We are passionate about supporting local, sustainable agriculture and excited by the farm to table movement. It would be our pleasure to connect with a motivated, self sufficient and responsible gardener or farmer who is interested in growing vegetables on our property in the South Wilkes area (near Ikea) in Winnipeg, MB.
We reside on the property, however, the specific garden area has not been landscaped or developed. We are in the process of building a small goat shed, storage unit and greenhouse which we anticipate to be ready around mid-April. If a good match is interested, we be open to discussing further infrastructure needs.
It would be our preference to have one or two designated gardeners only. References are required.
