About Four Farms Market Garden Training

Four Farms Market Garden Training is a collaborative educational initiative led by four market garden farmers in Ontario. We’re a group of small-scale, regenerative growers—each with a unique farm, a deep love for the land, and a shared commitment to community connections and sharing our stories and knowledge.  Together, we’ve created a training program that blends real-world experience with practical systems to help you start, improve, or scale any regenerative market garden. Join us in the field, connect with us online, and become part of our growing community.
