CARPE DIEM FARM: MORE THAN A NAME, IT’S A PROMISE (Cont’d)
“There’s a massive disconnect between what we learn in school - what we think farming will be - and what it actually is.” Julie explains. “The incubator farm allows people to see if they can handle an acre for a couple years. It lets them see if they can make a go of it; lets them see if they want to make a go of it - and they can do it for free in exchange for giving back a few hours to us. This way, they can risk a fall without losing everything and giving up.”
Those that farm their plots can use Carpe Diem’s farm shop to sell their goods, or they can take it to a farmer’s market.
Some might call this venture agricultural philanthropy, but Julie just calls it good sense. The incubator plots will not only nurture a love for the land, but they will also provide newbie farmers with a safe opportunity to test their skills, while simultaneously encouraging sustainable, local, environmentally conscious practices.
“I want the farm to be a hub that encourages people to unplug. It’s a place they can come for reprieve, by themselves or with friends or family, to connect with the earth. They can take workshops to grind their own flour, make their own bread, brew their own kombucha and husk their own corn to make popcorn. I want to create a community space where people can enjoy life on its simplest terms.”
After 15 years of what Julie calls “semi-sustainable” farming, the growth of Carpe Diem in the last two years is nothing short of impressive. Julie owes it to having a plan. Sort of.
“I actually don’t have an exact step-by-step plan of how I intend to get where I want. I just have an ultimate life plan, and I work backwards from that. Anything that doesn’t support that vision, I don’t do. As I go along, I’m constantly adjusting things to bring that life plan into fruition.”
In addition to the farm shop, cafe and incubator plots, Carpe Diem will also have a classroom where people can take cooking classes from industry professionals and host events, like art classes, book readings and workshops.
Despite being a first generation farmer, and though she’s still a relative novelty in conventional farming - which is still dominated by men - Julie is in fine company among other women and like-minded individuals in smaller-scale organic operations, for whom creating sustainable crops, inclusive communities, and abundant opportunities is business as usual.
To learn more about Julie and her farm, visit carpediemcheese.ca or drop in to visit the farm shop and cafe. They are located at the corner of highway 12 and the 10th concession just north of Sunderland, and are open from Friday to Sunday during throughout the summer until October.
