It’s Coolman Fuel’s Growing Up On The Farm; local families building the future of agriculture — one generation at a time…fueled by Kubota.
The final Growing Up on the Farm feature takes us to Mulberry Moon Farm, a small-scale market garden run by Alex Glazirin and his family.
The farm grows about 40 different vegetables and more than 100 varieties on roughly two-and-a-half to three acres of land.
Mulberry Moon Farm operates for most of the year, selling produce through a community-supported agriculture program, its on-farm store and several wholesale customers.
Glazirin grew up in Moldova, where his grandparents had a small farm. Spending time in the garden with his grandparents helped build a love of rural life and growing food.
He started Mulberry Moon Farm in 2010, north of Toronto, before moving the farm several times and eventually settling in the area.
Today, there is something different to do almost every day. The work includes planting, caring for crops, harvesting, washing and packing vegetables, and keeping the farm store stocked.
Glazirin says farming is a lot of work, but he see it more as a lifestyle than a job.
Looking ahead, the farm hopes to expand into growing organic fruits and berries.
