if you know our Farm, you will know that we employ a handful of Jamaican men who come up here to work for a better part of the year to provide for their families and most who have been on this farm longer than we have owned it since we bought in 2016. They are family to us. The three guys that we have here right now we are relieved to report that their families are safe and for the most part, their hard earned homes and belongings are OK with the exception of one who all his furniture has been ruined by mud and water coming from flash flooding off the mountain.

 It had been very heavy emotionally to be working alongside them this week and especially Wednesday while they tried to keep positive and distracted while we helplessly listened to Jamaican news and knew such a horrible storm was passing over their loved ones.

I am still trying to get contact and confirmation of the safety of three guys and their families. Two of them we hope and assume that they’re are safe and have no power or phone assess at the moment as infractuture was heavily compromised.

One guy who we haven’t had up the past couple years because he had his own farm going at home was on the worst area of St Ann / Black River and reports from his brother and sister are that his farm (along with many animals and a greenhouse) is completely gone and they are still trying to get contact with him and his family

The devastation is unimaginable in Jamaica the situation is becoming despetate and still developing and many workers are still up here watching helplessly and many are delayed to return home now because of logistics etc. please keep them on your minds and in your hearts and prayers for many months this is going to be a long terrible ride for many of them.
Please help out with this disaster by donating or helping individuals if you can.

If you save your own seed, you want to sign this petition CFIA wants to make it so this is no longer possible. The petition is only open until October 5 share far and wide if you can. Protect the sovereignty of food and farms in Canada by not forcing farmers to buy expensive patented seed every season instead of saving or having their own heirloom seed. This is a slippery slope folks.

There is no obligation on the part of the House of Commons or any Member of Parliament to authorize the publication of an e-petition or to present an e-petition or a paper petition to the House of Commons.

some perspective from a small family farmer.

When you attend, purchase from, or even work at a farmers market, you may see all the cash that the customers pay the farmer for their product and think the farmer must be wealthy and have plenty to spare.

The truth however is that most farmers at a farmers market are actually very small family businesses on a very tight budget and that money is paying employees wages, seeds, business loans, equipment, repairs, inputs, gloves, fertilizer…. The list goes on and on, the overhead is growing higher every year and the profit margin( if any) for farming is very small and shrinking every year…. to the point of asking at the end of every year if it is even sustainable financially.

Any losses no matter how small take out of what can go towards what are often large business loans, overdue equipment repair , infrastructure repair energy costs, wages or even their children’s shoes.

If you want these farmers to be there next year for you, please keep this in mind next time you’re at a farmers market or working one and compelled to haggle for their product while you stand there with your 5 dollar coffee or even feel tempted steal. Farmers work hard for their money at great cost to their family life and their mental health and they have employees who depend on them to continue farming to pay their own bills. Every nickel matters and the last thing your farmer needs with all their stress and hard work is to argue over prices or worry about if they can trust the people they value and depend on.

all farmers will thank you for keeping this in mind

We appreciate your business and we do not mind putting aside orders for our customers at market but please respect some professional boundaries and refrain from texting Shane at 11 pm especially before a market day we are farmers we go to bed early but we also sleep with one ear open, have older family members and teenagers and therefore need to keep our phone on.

Thank you.
