About this episode

Kyle Purdy shares his experience of starting a farm on 62 acres in Ottawa.

In this episode, I talk with Kyle Purdy of Purdy Farms in Ottawa, Ontario. Kyle and his family recently acquired 62 rural acres where they are building their dream farm/homestead. Kyle shares his experience with raising their first couple of pigs last year and his plans to raise more this year. With almost 30 acres of pasture and the remaining in Canadian bush, Kyle has plenty of space to try a variety of options.
