Farm Name
Roaming Roots
Farm Project Description
Roaming Roots is a small scale garlic farm located in South Slocan Village.
I own land but unfortunately a lot of it is not ready to be used. It requires a lot of drainage work. I am looking to lease land for a couple years to avoid planting if the same field while I’m able to slowly make the rest of my land farmable.
I grow everything naturally and rotate my field.
