North Augusta, Canada Heartbeet Farm Full time

**Do you have a strong desire to grow nourishing food for your community while having a positive impact on the environment?**

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to become a better grower and entrepreneur.

**A Little About Heartbeet**

Heartbeet Farm is a small-scale vegetable operation run by David Mazur-Goulet and Kate Garvie. The primary focus is on feeding 85 families in Kanata and North Augusta through our CSA vegetable box program from July to December. We also sell through our online store and a seasonal Farmers’ Market.

The majority of farm work is done at the hand-scale. We use human power and hand tools for planting, weeding, and weekly harvests throughout the season. A four-wheel tractor is used for bed-prep, cover cropping, and some of the large fall harvests. We are Certified Organic by Pro-Cert.

We are a values-driven farm working with our community towards a resilient, equitable local food system. Visit our website, heartbeetfarm.ca, to learn more about us.
