- Thanks to those who responded to my original question re: what are
- good sources of information for persons wanting to get into market
- gardening. Although I still have a lot of research/learning to do, as
- many readers pointed out, the best source -- not surprisingly -- is
- your local Ont Ministry of Agriculture office (look in the blue pages
- of your phone book).
-
- I made one phone call, and they forwarded me a guide on financial
- planning for farmers and another on "getting started in part-time
- farming in Ontario". Although it won't answer all my questions, it
- gives reference to other publications/sources, and I was given the
- number of a local rep with whom you can just chat about things.
-
- good luck to anyone else with similar interests
