Looking for land in Saskatchewan? Check out this two-acre plot, family home, and market garden for sale in Spy Hill.⁠
⁠
Located on the edge of the village of Spy Hill, Saskatchewan, the two-acre plot and house are connected to all municipal services and utilities, at affordable rates (including water). The garden was built in 2022 with its first full year of production in 2023. The market garden operates on three fronts: field produce, unheated greenhouse produce, and indoor/outdoor (season-dependent) microgreens, which has allowed us to take the stress off of summer production. ⁠
⁠
The house and market garden are both in turn-key condition, with the market garden simply ready for expansion if desired by the new owners. Alternatively, the property would suit a homestead-type situation within town limits.⁠

A recent article from @Civileats dives into how seeds from wild* crop relatives could help agriculture weather climate change. ⁠
⁠
"Crop wild relatives, or CWRs for short, are the hardy wild cousins of domesticated crops. In the U.S. alone, thousands of crop wild relatives exist in their natural habitats, often thriving in harsh conditions. In Arizona this includes wild species of onion, wheat, squash, strawberry, grape and many other important crops. ⁠
⁠
Increasingly, farmers and scientists are looking at them as reservoirs of genetic diversity with traits that can be bred into domesticated crops to improve drought, heat, and disease resistance—and perhaps serve as the key to the future of farming."⁠

*We would like to note that many plant species that we may consider wild have in fact already been selected and improved over millenia by Indigenous peoples around the world.
