14 Direct sale
Mike and Marlene O'Brien
chose a totally different path
when they got into farming.
They set up Bayfield Berry
Farm planning to sell their
products fresh or processed,
directly to the public.
22 Cause for Concern
The decline of small scale
abattoirs is of great concern
to alternative meat
producers, whether organic
producers or rare species.
26 Bouncing back
Like the beef industry reeling
from BSE, the elk industry
has suffered its own trauma
from chronic wasting disease.
In elk, at least, the recovery
has begun.
30 What's phenology?
The study of the signs of
nature has long been a part
of growing crops. It is still a
fascinating practice.
32 Small but efficient
A tiny plot of land in the
middle of Toronto's concrete
jungle shows just how
efficient food production
can be.
