From a small acreage for market gardening near Hastings to a 20-acre grazing pasture in Northumberland County, Farms at Work is hoping to keep farmland in production with the launch of a new online tool.
The Peterborough-based non-profit organization has launched findfarmland.ca, a free resource designed to improve access to agricultural land by helping farmers and landowners find each other.
“The most exciting thing is that by creating this simple bulletin board we could actually keep farmland in production that would otherwise sit idle,” Pat Learmonth, a member of the Peterborough Agricultural Roundtable, told kawarthaNOW.
