Farm Project Description
1/2 to 1 acre market garden specializing in high value succession crops. Selling direct to consumer via farmer's markets, restaurants, and potentially a CSA. Farm would be raised bed style using methods of JM Fortier, Elliot Coleman etc. Below is a link to a promotional video I had made for the first farm I started in Nova Scotia. I would like to recreate this scale and model.
