Green Dragon Organic Farm and Bed & Breakfast
|
Green Dragon Organic Farm and B&B is a unique small-scale farm in its 10th year on the North Shore of Nova Scotia. We combine traditional animal husbandry and an old-fashioned market garden which includes four passive solar greenhouses.
In our garden we emphasize handwork, specializing in over wintering hardy greens in order to have fresh produce available from March to December. Our intent is to be both self-sustaining and commercial, and to practice global stewardship.
We have been Certified Organic for a few years and became Certified Biodynamic in 2009.
The Biodynamic Farming Method, introduced by Rudolf Steiner in 1924, provides a holistic way to reform and shift values and methods towards a more sustainable and healthier future.

Community Supported Agriculture |
|
Community Shared Agriculture (also known a Community Supported Agriculture or CSA for short) is a direct-marketing based, farm business model which has growing appeal for profitability and community economic development impact. The basic CSA model is simple; consumers purchase annual “shares” in exchange for weekly deliveries of predetermined, seasonal produce. The arrangement generally involves sharing production risks/benefits between the consumer and farmer. The model has roots in Japan and Europe, emerging in North America in 1984 with the opening of Indian Line Farm CSA in Massachusetts. Increasing consumer demands for local, organic food for health, security, environmental and economic reasons has enabled the growth of both the number of CSA farms in North America (now 1000+) and the evolution of the business model.
