Looking for an organic plot of land that I can grow vegetables and herbs on for the 2013 Season and so on. Would like to grow corn, tomatoes, peppers, squash, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, parsley, lavender, citronella..maybe 6 - 10 plants of each. I am looking to keep half and give the other half to charity. It's just for me and my son, so not looking for something huge..but enough space to plant the above and maybe a few others. Will need a watersource close by too, please. We are willing to share the food and space too, if need be. We have looked at alot of community gardens, and the waiting lists are very long, because there are not enough. Thank you!!

We have 40 acres of traditionally farmed cropland that we would like to convert to organic. We are looking for a partner with some experience with grain crops who would like to take over the transition of the fields or work with us to plan a crop rotation to get us to full organic status. We have a tractor and a draft horse and are willing to invest in the necessary equipment to work the land most effectively. The transition crops would be used on the farm as animal feed or for self-consumption or for sale in local restaurants. If you have an interest in the valuable production of heritage and organic grains, please let us know.

Do you have a dream to live in harmony with nature? To have your own secure food crops, both short- and long-term? To co-manage an educational Permaculture and agri-tourism business? To have or be involved with horses and equine-assisted personal development programs for humans? Greenshire Eco Farms, established in 2009, is a Permaculture farm. Permaculture goes beyond organic, leaving the land improved from its original state. The farm is located on a busy local and ‘cottage-country’ route in the Kawartha Lakes northeast of Toronto and 30 minutes northwest of Peterborough, between Lindsay and Bobcaygeon. The previous owner lived on the property for 30 years and used no chemicals. Therefore, the land could be certified organic. We have in the ground, in various types of garden beds such as mandala, food forest, and hugelkultur: * 35 fruit trees (5 sweet cherry, 1 sour cherry, 11 apple, 6 pear, 5 peach, 5 nectarine, 2 persimmon) * 66 nut trees (hazelnut, almond, japanese walnut aka heartnut, sweet chestnut, pecan, korean pine nut) * 1500 asparagus crowns * ever-bearing strawberry plants * various seasonal vegetables and garlic Greenshire is a commercial farm and educational centre, open to the public for workshops and agri-entertainment: Permaculture garden tours and natural horsemanship/equine-assisted learning demonstrations and sessions. Greenshire’s horses live in a naturalized boarding environment called a Paddock Paradise – one of only a few in Ontario. Two certified facilitators run workshops and sessions in Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning (FEEL) with our rescue horses, helping our human clients to learn valuable life skills and new ways to be in relationship, while healing the horses, who often have histories of abuse and/or neglect, at the same time. The Greenshire partners are looking for a partner-investor (or multiple persons) to purchase our 100-acre farm, with option to live on the property. We also seek a business-savvy person or persons to manage or co-manage the gardens and/or administer the agri-tourism business. The main house is ~1100 square feet, recently renovated, heated by oil, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom. A second residence (720 sq ft) on the farm requires a foundation and septic system (permits already issued and paid for). Also, there is potential for a 3rd seasonal-living residence for farm workers in a building (736 sq ft) that is already on-site. There is a multitude of options for other ecological businesses on the property (including building of cottages for eco-tourism), which is approximately 30 acres young forest, 65 hay/meadow and 5 in market gardens and residential area. Approximately 2 acres is in cultivated garden space, and the nut trees comprise 3 acres. We envision a number of possible scenarios for a partnership with the right person or persons. For details, please email: greenshireecofarms@gmail.com . Serious inquiries only. For us, time is of the essence (we need a new mortgage for Dec 1, 2012).

Hi. My mom lives by herself in a detached bungalow in Toronto and never ventures into the backyard. But it's ripe for growing. It's shady but there's sunny areas. So we have land we can offer in exchange for a small percentage of the crop, as and when. It's in northern Toronto, around Bathurst / Wilson.

We are 57 & 47 years old christians who are begining a small farm on a 16 acre property (in the maritimes) with no experience. we hope to be a farm that is self sustaining, organic, etc. presently we have a few acres open for planting etc. -the rest is wooded. we seek like minded ones to share the land with. if all is well we will share land title if labor/financial investment is desired. we have mature apple trees (14) The only thing is we don't have living space to offer (only poor structures) so that part would have to be taken care of with a trailer or such.

I have a large pie-shaped lot in the inner city. I have flower beds but still way, way too much grass. I also have raspberries, rhubarb, saskatoons, two apple trees and Nanking cherry shrubs. Looking for someone who wants to use it for vegetable growing.

Greetings. I would love to work the land in tandem with others, or would gratefully farm arable land that someone doesn't have any use for. I have heaps of experience working/managing farms in Saanich, Sooke, and Newfoundland.

Looking for multiple gardens in the inner city to start an urban farming operation. Will be starting in spring 2013

I would love a place to stay this winter and get some experience looking after a farm and animals.
