Are you thinking about shifting to a winter CSA model? Hear from Marcelle and Brendan on how they started their winter CSA and how it was a game changer for their farm profitability. A recording of this webinar will be available.
Speakers: Brendan Grant and Marcelle Paulin, Sleepy G Farm, Pass Lake
Since 2010, Brendan and Marcelle have been operating Sleepy G Farm in Pass Lake, ON, 45km east of Thunder Bay. They grow 8 acres of Certified Organic vegetables and distribute through a 200-member CSA program in addition to wholesaling to grocery stores. Sleepy G Farm also produces eggs and beef as a complement to nearly year-round vegetables sales that are made possible by an on-farm winter vegetable storage facility. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how they have turned a 171 acre abandoned dairy farm in northwestern Ontario into a thriving, diversified farm business and the infrastructure they’ve put in place to support their operations.
