Feature Farmer – Lund’s Organic Farm

I love telling the story of Lund’s Organic Farm because I think it covers just about every issue in local food production there is.  Gert and Betty Lund operate their farm on the north side of Innisfail and their soil is over 24 inches of 20 year old certified organic black gold.  It is through years of caring and enriching it that Gert is able to coax better carrot yields than accepted conventional operations (something that is believed to be impossible).  We get carrots, potatoes, beets, cabbage, kale, spinach, lettuce, parsnips, chard, among other things from them throughout the year.
