Organic grower still looking for help
To alt.sustainable.ag readers: Back in July I posted a message to help
Gerald Hopkins, a 70-year-old grower in south Muskoka, Ontario, CANADA, to
find an energetic person to co-manage, lease or take over a 5-acre organic
market garden. Gerald wants to pass along this farm.
This historic 100-acre farm, first tilled in 1870, could be converted to
more than 10-15 acres market garden, acres of root crops, plus field
crops, buckwheat, grains, Christmas trees, etc. The farm is near
Gravenhurst/Bracebridge in Ontario's cottage country'. Hopkins Berry
Farm' produces some of the sweetest strawberries in Muskoka.
Gerald needs a young person with imagination to integrate into the
cultivation and marketing for 1997 crop year and beyond. Available: pump
irrigation, tractors, cultivators, cutter mowers, tile drained, barn,
possible on-site housing. Further extensive details on request.
If this situation attracts you, please call Gerald Hopkins, Barkway,
Ontario, (705) 687-0765.
