Three Roots Harvest - Our Approach

Three Roots Harvest: Operational Overview

What type of farm opportunity are we looking for?
We are actively seeking a land lease agreement, though we are highly open to lease-to-own opportunities for the right property to establish our long-term roots.

What is our farming experience?
We are first-generation agricultural entrepreneurs. While this is our first commercial growing venture, we bring a strong, complementary operational foundation to the field. By combining professional backgrounds in solar sustainability and food science, we approach crop management, soil health, and farm operations with a rigorous, analytical, and environmentally conscious mindset.

What agricultural products are we planning to produce?
We are dedicating our fields to two primary, high-quality crops:

Waltham Butternut Squash: Cultivated from May through September.
Hardneck Garlic: Cultivated from October through July.

What are your planned marketing strategies?
Our distribution model is intentionally diversified. We plan to focus on wholesale partnerships and direct-to-restaurant sales to deliver our harvests.

How much land will we need?
We are seeking a compact, manageable plot of 1 acre or less. Our initial business model requires approximately 0.65 acres of active cultivation space (0.5 acres dedicated to our garlic crop and 0.15 acres for our squash).

What facilities/equipment would we like available?
Reliable irrigation capacity is our primary requirement. Additionally, ability to rent existing agricultural machinery on an as-needed basis would be highly advantageous for our operations.

What are your planned farming practices?
Bbest of both conventional and organic practices. Our focus is on maintaining exceptional food quality and ecological balance from the ground up.

Which province(s) are you looking to farm in?
Ontario.

What additional relevant experience (i.e. business experience, horticultural knowledge, etc.) do we bring to our farm enterprise?
We bring a strong, complementary foundation in business operations, environmental sustainability, and food safety. Our combined professional background includes large-scale logistics and operations management, ensuring our farm's supply chain and daily workflows will be highly efficient. Additionally, we bring rigorous quality assurance expertise to the field, backed by professional experience as a food scientist and specialized training as a certified Lead Auditor. This ensures our agricultural practices are meticulously managed and held to the highest safety and quality standards from seed to distribution.

Will we be farming alone or with other people?
Three Roots Harvest is officially registered as a general partnership, operated by a family. While we share all core daily farm responsibilities and management within our family, we recognize the labor-intensive nature of our specific crop cycles. During peak operational windows—specifically the key sowing and harvesting phases for our garlic and butternut squash—we will augment our workforce by bringing in trusted friends and hired seasonal general labor as needed to ensure efficiency and timely crop management.

Brief description of our farm vision
Three Roots Harvest is a family-run agricultural enterprise dedicated to cultivating premium hardneck garlic and Waltham butternut squash using sustainable, earth-conscious practices. By combining a professional background in solar sustainability with food science expertise, we aim to maximize the yield, flavor, and ecological health of a compact, sub-acre plot in Ontario. Our vision is to build a thriving, small-scale farm that supplies exceptional produce to local wholesale and restaurant partners while nurturing the soil for future generations.

More information on the kind of relationship we are looking to develop with a farm owner:
We are seeking a collaborative, transparent, and mutually respectful relationship with a farm owner. As first-generation farmers entering a land lease or lease-to-own agreement, we highly value the opportunity to integrate into the local agricultural community and learn from the legacy of the land we operate on. We are committed to being highly communicative, responsible stewards of the property, treating the owner's land and any shared infrastructure with the utmost care and professionalism.
