ABOUT THE LAND
Located on Pioneer Road in Agassiz, this established 1 acre farm has prepared beds that have been solarised (to eliminate weeds) and are ready to grow. Equipment, infrastructure and irrigation are available. This farm specialises in growing mixed greens for salad and garlic. The landholder has developed the processes and systems that enable efficient production of a high quality crop.
ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
This is an opportunity to leverage the land, infrastructure, production know-how and sales channels developed by the landholder to gain experience and deepen your farming practice. This is suitable for a novice grower with a high-level of commitment. The number of days per week may be discussed, but a commitment for the whole season is required. The produce will be distributed by the landholder through his existing channels. The proceeds will be governed by a sharing agreement.
The landholder would like to help cultivate new growers by providing a well-rounded experience that includes not only production know-how but also the experience of running a business. The emphasise of this opportunity is to enable an aspiring farmer to experience all aspects of farming for a season or two with the hope that they will then be prepared to go on to establish their own farm.
