Comment
As a farm owner and resident of Ontario, I fully support the proposal to permit housing related to agricultural workers and buildings for production. This would be a tremendous boost to our ability to participate in land based activities related to farming and providing opportunities for farmers from the City to learn and grow crops at our farm. We are located roughly a 1 to 1.5 hour drive from Toronto, depending on traffic. In the past, we have welcomed farming cooperatives from the City, and arranging transportation to be able to cultivate crops has been a costly challenge in time and money for the farmers.
This development would enable access to young farmers and racialized youth who cannot get access to land to learn about farming or to pursue farming enterprises.
