For Today’s Changing World!

Food Production (household and market gardens), are at the heart of our resiliency and our committments to our neighbours and local communities. We'd like to reach 80-90 % homegrown food security. Within in that of course is the capacity to process and store our harvest and products and achieve a two year reserve to insure we not only survive but are able to thrive - and contribute significantly to our neighbours' ability as well.

Horticulture and Food Forest Production. Including foraging and gleaning.

Kitchen Culinary Developement and Production, we'd love to grow to a commercial kitchen scale and be able to create and add value to everything grown here locally. Marketing, distribution, logistics are all elements that come to mind.

Farm Gate, CSA and Farmer's Market/ing Developement, direct sales and associated relationships offer tremendous opportunity. Individuals, families and trade relationships are key. We are in the heart of a thriving tourist area with numerous visitors, restaurant and accomodations facilites. They want good food. How do we fulfill that need together?

[ the description from youtube]: "Using Polyface farm as an example, Salatin offers templates for structuring symbiotic partnership fiefdoms for multi-generational farm success. Rather than building a business around employees, Polyace germinates entrepreneurial stand-alone fiefdoms. Former interns and apprentices develop their own production and compensation requirements under the Polyface umbrella, enabling young farmers to be fully employed from day one without capitalization. As a model for creating scalable and viable localized food security clusters, farm partnership offer community, efficiency, and low cost entry."
