Windmill Point Organic Farm Visit
Windmill Point Organic Farm
Yesterday I went to Ile Perrot, a little island 30 minutes outside of Montreal, to visit an organic farmers’ market, Windmill Point. I had found out about it when I attended the Sustainable Business Conference at Concordia University last winter. The owner of the farm, Ken Taylor, was one of the speakers, and he told us about the amazing feats of growing walnuts and lemons right here in our chilly climate, as well as many other vegetables, fruits and heritage seeds. At the conference, Ken brought some nuts for us to try and that was enough for me to visit his farm.
In the works is converting the barn where the store is to reduce the environmental footprint to zero. People everywhere are doing amazing things that are also respectful of the environment and our health. Ken & Lorraine are one inspiring example.
