When Coral Sproule returned to her family’s 98-acre farm in Lanark (just north-west of Perth), she brought with her 4 years of experience at Plan B Organic Farm, one of Canada’s largest CSA farms as well as several years as a member of an employee-owned cooperative in Toronto.
In 2012 Coral is moving her garden and animals down the road to Singing Nettle Farm. Singing Nettle farm is located just west of Perth on the Tay River, where owners Joanne and Josh tend their garden as well chickens and pigs. Though not certified, both Singing Nettle and Queen Beet Farms meet or exceed organic standards. Call us to arrange a farm visit!
Coral has a special interest in growing heirloom vegetables and this year, hopes to devote more time and space toward saving seed. She also hopes to grow on the success of previous years by returning to the Perth Farmer’s Market, selling at the farm-gate, and expanding her CSA while still finding time to milk the goats and care for the chickens.
