Farm Project Description
We are new farmers, looking to collaborate with someone who may be at the end of their farming journey, and to learn from their experience and continue their farm.
We will be farming the land to grow (primarily) tomatoes and we plan to extend the growing season using greenhouses and modern farming techniques. We will be supplying the produce to local retailers and farmers' markets in and around Abbotsford.
We have a business model in place, and are excited to begin farming!
