Interview with Luke Sheldrick of Terramor Farm

Luke Sheldrick and Dana Moores recently purchased an old farm on Dickson Road in Burnstown and named it Terramor Farm after Luke's parent's farm in White Lake. Located at Lot 19 Concession 3, the farm was originally settled by Robert Dickson who was granted 100 acres by the Crown in 1860. The farm remained in the family until the 1970’s when the Bennett’s made it their home. Now Luke and Dana intensively farm about one acre using hand tools, a two-wheel tractor and floating row covers to protect the plants and hold some warmth. They sell their wide range of produce to several restaurants in Ottawa, and have a table at the Carp market on Saturday mornings. They also sell shares to supporters of Community Supported Agriculture for weekly boxes of vegetables throughout the summer. Their goal is to be able to work full time at their business which supports their passion for good food.

There is no time when we are selling our produce at least right now that people don't know exactly who we are or have the opportunity to come and see how we farm.
