"Jessi"

Ever wondered where your vegetables come from, or what it’s like working on a local farm? La Maison Verte worker-member Jessica Vihvelin is learning the hard way by doing it herself. This spring she and three friends started up an organic farm that will deliver Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) baskets to 30 members and two markets in the Ottawa valley. Check Eco Logic often to read her stories and find out how things are cultivating!
