Small-Scale Farming: Is it for You?

Small-Scale Farming: Is it for You?

With the introduction of Coronavirus (Covid-19) worldwide during Spring 2020, and the ever-looming threat of lockdown, many businesses and individuals have been experiencing decreased produce supply. With the rising cost of living and the growing urge to be less dependent on “the other guy”, people suddenly had the opportunity to tackle those small renovations, and considered getting the backyard chickens they have always wanted. Covid enabled many people to have the time to realize the dream of a home garden for a source of locally grown, fresh produce.
