How many farmers are on this board? and what do you grow and in what region?
Do. maple syrup and chicken eggs count? What about growing firewood?
do we really need to hear about your growing wood???
Starting a hobby farm, we have an orchard with 18 fruit trees, we planted tons of berries, 4800 sq ft garden, meat rabbits, chickens, ducks and a couple quail. We are planning to fence the back acre and put a couple lambs on it for the summer, butcher in the fall.
Not a full farm but everything is done by hand, no tractors or anything like that, just muscle and time, after full time jobs for both my wife and I.
My buddy lives on county rd. #44 Kemptville near the 416 Hwy and has a 16 acre hobby farm. They supply a variety of Ottawa ethnic groups with goat, lamb, eggs ,chickens, pork as well some in season vegetables. It definitely has become a lifestyle for him and his wife and they both hold down full time jobs as well.Quote:

I guess you could add acorns from my oaks.When I'm older maybe some chickens….
Pot???? just kidding...does a 10 x 10 garden in the back yard count...tomatoes cucumbers zucchini cherry tomatoes and a honking big cherry tree in the other corner of the back yard!
A 10 x 10 garden growing pot would yield higher profits than a full time farmer growing 200 acres of corn. lol It would count.
any idea how to get a grow permit?Quote:
