Farm Project Description
My family would like to find a long term opportunity to produce food and sell to our local communities. We have 4 kids at home, ages 5, 8, 14 and 16. My husband has a job with Selkirk College and I am finishing my degree with TRU. Due to student loan debt we likely will never be able to afford land ourselves do hope to partner with a land owner who is interested in long term connection. If there is no housing, then close proximity to Castlegar where our current rental is, would be best.
We have years of experience growing food on our rental properties, and my husband has an aquaponics set up we would like to expand.
