Young farmer looking for land
Farm Project Description
Young and motivated farmer looking to expand outside the family business and take a step of his own. After completing my university degree at UBCO of human kinetics in 2019 I decided to come back home and help with the family business of farming fruit and wine grapes. I have been working on the farm since I was 10 years old from pulling out apple bins on the tractor to mowing the orchard! Experience is key in this industry and I am hoping to become a better farmer day in and day out. Willing to keep working hard and keep learning.
