Raising 70% on a Half Acre

Rob Croley at Sentimental Farm, in Niagara Canada.

Rob and Chris Croley at Sentimental Farm in Niagara, Ontario, Canada grow about 70 per cent of the food they need on their 1/2 acre urban homestead.

An interest in self-sufficiency that started with growing vegetables has grown to include chickens, bees, mushrooms, goats, preserving, and making soaps and cosmetics.

They know that their garden is more than some people will undertake, but they hope that people who visit their garden will see something that inspires them to produce food at home.
