REGENERATIVE FARMING

Opportunity:
Share a working farm

Farm: Mats Fine Oils
Location: Straffordville, Southwestern Ontario
Housing: possibility to live on-farm, see below

Wanted  to share our farm  to be self sustainable.

If you are interested in Self sufficiency consider sharing our farm. It is important to have an income either from a rented field or a skill that can earn an income.

We have a very wonderful organic lifestyle that is debt and mortgage free and want to share it with someone who is equally enthusiastic about sustainable organic regnerative farming.We have tractors and draft horses with every piece of equipment necessary for growing seeds for our vegetables,  vegetable oils pressing  and flour mill. We are totally self sufficient food for ourselves, horses, cow and chickens as well as having solar electricity, diesel generators that run on sunflower oil, plenty of water and a greenhouse. See our internet site for an idea of what we have. Give us a shout if you are interested: matthew@matsfineoils.com .

On our farm, we press Sunflower, flax, camelina and hemp oils from organically grown crops from our farm. We also produce rye and spelt flour along with corn meal from our fields. We have heritage chickens and organic eggs.

We are self sufficient in water, feeding ourselves and our animals, as well as electricity from solar cells and generators that run on our sunflower oil but grid is available if necessary.

As well as the four draft horses we have four tractors, a combine and a swather with all of the equipment needed for tractors and horses in the fields, for harvesting and planting.

We practice regenerative farming using pastures and animals, having crops only after a few seasons of pasture to restore soils with cover crops and compost. There is lots of water and there is a greenhouse.

We have a welding shop, machine shop and wood working shop and all the equipment necessary for making and maintaining our equipment.

We have a wood lot were we log with the horses. We heat our water and buildings with a wood fired stoves in the winter and have evacuated tubes in the summer for hot water.

The farm is debt and mortgage free and have a good customer base for our oil and flour sales which could also be customers for a vegetable or other businesses.

We are non religious.

No wages are offered
