 n an attempt to raise quality vegetables, we raise a large garden. As an extension of this we have undertaken
to market the extra produce. We wanted people to have access to fresh, local produce.
We believe that for any small farmer to have a hope of making a living for themselves and their families we have
to lower our purchased inputs. In response to this we have chosen to use draft horses instead of fossil fuel burning equipment www.smallfarmersjournal.com.
As part of our market gardening practices we use the team to prepare the soil, cultivate and harvest. They also have to earn their feed in the winter by taking hay to all the other animals.
We also enjoy our team for wagon and sleigh rides. In the future we would like to extend this pleasure to others. |
