For us, it's our immediate community. In Durham region—if you're familiar, you know—there's Oshawa, Ajax and Pickering. For us, that's local.
Depending on where we are in our municipality, we try to serve our community within our region. There are a few million people. Our small farm on 10 acres can only really serve 150 of them. What we need is more small-scale farms in our context, so that we can serve more people and make farming the centre of the community.
I'd like to see more farms that are urban, peri-urban and integrating the rural, traditional agriculture with more urban, small-scale, bio-intensive farms right in the city, so that instead of driving to Costco and big box superstores, they can get access to local produce from local farms, and it's right on their doorsteps.
