Farm Talk

Gave a presentation to a class of aspiring farmers at the invitation of Dave Alexander, who runs the Everdale Farm Visioning and Planning Courses.  The theme of the presentation was sales and marketing techniques for farmers' market vendors. The idea is to borrow techniques from the world of corporate sales and marketing.

Garlic Giveaway

I've given away several hundred bulbs of garlic this fall, to community gardens in the Toronto Area. Also got several dozen bulbs from garlic farmers at the garlic festival, which were given away.
