The Farmers
Farmer Paula
Paula grew up in Toronto and though she had little exposure to farming she always had an affinity for nature and a love for science. She holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Biology where her studies focused on ecology and entomology. In 2014 Paula caught the farming bug when she joined Fresh City Farms as the assistant farm manager. In 2015 she founded Salad Days Farm. Her favourite crop to grow is broccoli.
Farmer Dave
Dave grew up in rural Ontario near the small town of Victoria Harbour. He had little exposure to farming aside from helping his mother and father in their large backyard vegetable garden. Upon completion of his Bachelor’s degree in Geography he worked for 15 years in municipal government as a Cartographer, GIS Specialist and Project Manager. In 2020 he quit his office job and joined Paula full-time on the farm with no regrets! Dave’s favourite crop to grow is tomatoes.
Echo the Blue Heeler
Echo joined Salad Days Farm in 2021. She’s a 35lb ball of energy who would play frisbee all day if only we weren’t so busy farming. Her favourite vegetable to eat is sweet corn.
