Simeon Folkema, Folk Gardens |
Organic rules!
Simeon Folkema of Renfrew (left in photo with his mentor, Dwight Hayward) burst onto the market gardening scene with his high quality pesticide-free produce.
Starting with weekly appearances at the Renfrew Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, he branched out selling at the farm-gate and to the grocery store. Always fresh, always tender, always lush: a philosophy that worked for him.
