Meet the farmers
Jenessa & Mike
Jenessa Clark and Micheal Regina met at Leslieville Farmers market in 2018. Jenessa managed the Leslieville farmers market through the 2018 season while Mike tested the fields with market gardening. In 2019, they came together as a team to form their very own Organic market garden in Campbellford, Ontario. Striving to work with nature, learn sustainable agriculture practices, and provide high quality food for their local community, Jenessa and Mike would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone visiting the site and a sincere thank you to everyone that supports their efforts!
