We are in Cape Breton and we grow all kinds of stuff. Figs, peaches, apples, pears, raspberries, blackberries, haskaps, strawberries, cherries, grapes, blueberries, plums, carrots, potatoes, peas, beets, all the lettuces and greens, cabbage, Brussels, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, onions, lemongrass, artichokes, asparagus, tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, peppers, all the herbs, tomatillos, ground cherries, garlic, walnuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms of various kinds and even more than that.
We grow greens and cold gearty veg all year round I our greenhouse and switch crops with the seasons. We use no till systems, meaning we use no equipment aside from a quad to help move heavy loads, a truck for hauling stuff to the property and out and are regenerative meaning we make and supply all our own inputs like compost and fertilizers.
All grown on less than 1/4 acre and includes a 20x50 hightunnel greenhouse and loads of outdoor beds. We do not have a lawn. We also raise 100 meat chickens, 15-50 laying hens and fish hunt trap and forage a lot of food. We barter with neighbors for what we can’t manage on our own. We preserve our fresh goods in various ways so we have them year round and store some fresh goods as is year round.
Commercially we can grow everything in country with a little science and investment and willingness to raise wages and food costs to normal levels. There are farms in Canada already growing all sorts of tropical fruits like bananas, pineapples, citrus fruits and more.
