SMALL SCALE FARMING

The severance of a large parcel of land into smaller parcels for small scale farming has the potential to bring numerous benefits to both the township and the province as a whole. By promoting a farm-to-table concept, this approach encourages the production of fresh, locally grown produce that supports the local economy and promotes sustainable agriculture practices. It also provides opportunities for small-scale farmers to establish businesses and generate revenue, thereby contributing to the overall economic growth of the region.

Furthermore, this type of development can create jobs and boost property values in the surrounding area, benefiting both local residents and the broader community. With careful planning and management, the severance of large parcels of land into smaller farms can be a win-win proposition, bringing benefits to farmers, consumers, and the community at large.

WHY SMALL SCALE FARMING

DATA SUPPORTING SMALL SCALE FARMING IN ONTARIO

There is significant data that supports the benefits of small scale farming in Ontario, Canada. For example:

According to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, small-scale farms in Ontario are responsible for producing a diverse range of agricultural products, including fruits, vegetables, honey, and livestock. These products contribute to the local food system and support local markets.
Small-scale farmers in Ontario often use sustainable agriculture practices that minimize the use of chemicals and promote soil health. These practices contribute to environmental sustainability and help to mitigate the effects of climate change.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture reports that small-scale farms in Ontario are often more profitable than larger farms on a per-acre basis, due to lower overhead costs and the ability to sell products at a premium price to consumers who value local and sustainable food.
Small-scale farming also contributes to rural development and economic growth in Ontario. According to a study by the Rural Ontario Institute, small-scale farming generates $5.4 billion in economic activity and supports over 75,000 jobs in the province.

Overall, the data suggests that small-scale farming in Ontario is a valuable and important part of the province's agricultural sector, contributing to local food systems, environmental sustainability, and economic growth.

MODULAR BUILDINGS

Modular development is a construction method that uses one or more prefabricated, three-dimensional components or modules. This kind of structure is made in part or entirely off-site in a manufacturing facility, then it is shipped to the property and put together there, much like building bricks.

The desire for modular development is increasing in both remote places and large cities. For clients wishing to build in a short amount of time, 1100 is particularly skilled at creating using modular designs.
