Nelson Urban Acres: no more?
As most people reading this have probably already heard, Farmers Paul and Laire will be moving to Cobourg, Ontario in less than 6 weeks. My father passed away this year and we are moving into his old home. Obviously, this means neither of us will be here to contine the farm in future years.
I have met a few people interested in taking on bits and pieces of the farm: a couple of the gardens, the walk-in cooler, the tiller, etc. But so far the number of people who've contacted me saying they are seriously interested in running NUA as a farm business... well, not so many.
So I'm putting the word out there:
Who would like to take over the largest of Nelson's urban gardens, the market materials, the brand, the website?
It's up for grabs at this point.

Sounds like you two won't be
Sounds like you two won't be farming there in Cobourg, but good luck on your endeavours.
Who says?
Don't get me wrong, Michael - we're totally planning to be urban farmers in Cobourg. It's just Nelson Urban Acres that may or may not have a future. I'm not sure what the name of the farm in Cobourg will be, but it's not going to be "Nelson Urban Acres" - that farm's staying put! (If I were a little smarter maybe I would have chosen a more portable name before investing in the Internet domain names, logo design and glossy banner!)
I will definitely make sure to link to the new farm website in Cobourg when we're up and running in the spring!
Farming in Cobourg
Great! Please do provide a link when your up and running.
I may not be eventually farming for profit myself, but I still find it interesting to follow the avenue you have taken.
Cheers
