335747b3 c5ae 4ba4 9cd7 702e4e434c35
Bio-Way Gardens is located 1 mile east of Leduc. There are 4, 2 acre parcels of land, surrounded by trees and free of contaminants. The project requires people with horticultural experience, who are eager and ready to invest their time, talent and energy to doing their part to make possible a local sustainable food supply. There will be other considerations regarding facilities, accommodation, labour, sales, business plan, equipment, remuneration and no doubt more. Health and safety above all is most important.
